🚫 European leaders do not believe Putin wants peace and think he only seeks Ukraine’s capitulation. They are supporting Trump’s talks to show the Kremlin’s bad faith, - Politico If Putin refuses concessions, Europe expects Trump will harden his stance and back harsher sanctions.
And that's were it's going to fail, do not expect turd trump to do anything significant again ruzzia...EU needs to forget the protection from US and support Ukraine unconditionally, buy weapons from South Korea until EU manufacturers have capacity.
I think Putin is playing the same game. He will try to make it look like Ukraine is refusing concessions. Like his land swap.
If Putin wanted peace or justice, he wouldn't have invaded. If Trump wanted peace or justice, he wouldn't have bowed [figuratively] to Putin at Anchorage, nor would he have undermined NATO.
Ukraine is pulverising the ruSSian oil and gas industries, railways and armaments factories putler may not be in power long enough to negotiate a deal if the oligarchs money laundering schemes start to fail
The russian economy is in real problems. This is what will defeat russia more than their huge losses on the battlefield.
They are wrong. Trump is a russian asset. He will ALWAYS back putin. I'm still very glad they were all there.
> and back harsher sanctions ...or blame Zelenskyy for not wanting peace and say America is out. I bet on the later and I hope our EU leaders have been taking this possibility into account.
European leaders clearly don’t have access to the Epstein files or the pee pee tapes. Trump will never undermine Putin.
I admire their optimisim
Trump - will - not !!!
europe needs to grow a pair europe could have and still could solve this war but they’re acting so weak and indecisive i mean EU itself still buys oil and countries openly supporting russia (hungary and slovakia) are allowed to make decisions in support of russia
Europaens leaders came with ZelenskyyUa at his request to protect him against Trump and his bullies. We do not expect anything from Russia 2, who are by Trumps own statement a warprofeeter. US is gone.
Ukraine will never capitulate.
Grazie Maks for this statement. It's the first of its kind and it expresses exactly what happened.
Same old song, again and again....
There may be disgusting things about Trump, not yet known by many, that Putin knows and can prove. But I think what Putin holds over Trump’s head is that Putin has enough power, strings to pull and private info to easily bankrupt Trump and his entire family.
I hope you are right about dt’s intentions. I have no faith in anything he says he’s going to do. All you have to do is look at the body language of both Putin and dt coming out of the Alaska meeting. Putin is the one smiling and holding his head high. 🇺🇸😪
Putin will harden his stance. What will the European leaders do then? They should forget this diplomatic pussy-footing and put troops into Ukraine. After all, Putin is using North Korean troops, so the precedent has been set. Start with air defence units for Ukraine’s cities & infrastructure.
Putin acts tough but the russian economy is in real problems. All sectors are in difficulty. The central government has been taking money from the regions to pay its way and now faces huge economic problems.
TACO's gonna fold as usual . .
Unfortunately, I think they are wrong. Trump will never stand up to putin. He is afraid of totalitarian leaders or, worse, he admires them.
Makes you wish we had kings again. At least they had to be brave enough to kill dragons or smart enough to outwit the fates. Why are we governed by fucktards we allegedly voted for?
Nope.... Putin has something on Trump. Every time the subject of Russia comes up in front of trump he trembles like a leaf on a tree
I don't think so. Putin might have something on Trump, but that's not important. Trump just really admirers Putin. When you attack Putin, you're attacking trump. Look at the body language, trump can't hide how much he likes Putin.
Of course. Russia knows everything of Trump, included the size of his underwear. They are so full of kompromat, like the library of Alexandria. He will burn. Implode, be pulverized, atomized into nothingness. Amen.
Europe *hopes* Trump will harden his stance *when* Putin refuses to make concessions. Oh, and here is the article: www.politico.eu/article/euro...
Why? Why the fuck does anyone expect Trump to get tougher on Russia? Is no one paying attention? Jesus Christ..
Don’t count on trump ever doing what’s right. He’s Putin’s weak little orange bitch. Putin knows trump’s secrets and he’s holding them over his head. Trump will do whatever Putin wants.
"If Putin refuses concessions, Europe expects Trump will harden his stance and back harsher sanctions." Really, Politico? Is there a single piece of journalistic evidence that would point to this ? European leaders are not fools. They expect Trump will TACO again.
Understandable but pathetic that people will have to die because Putin’s idiot needs convincing that Putin is a bad man.
This is the public story, but none of them are so naive

Trump won't do that. He's Putin's man.
🤣🤣🤣
Taco
Trump has no balls. Period. All he can is to fuck and abuse girls. Putin has him and his sons.
They're going to find that their expectations are wrong. Trump is just buying time for Putin. Thankfully though, I think part of the reason all the euros came who did, was to express unity and solidarity in defending Ukraine, and Trump won't be able to wiggle out of it without huge costs to himself
MI5 and FIC etc are fully aware Trump is in the files / videos and that Putin has it all. Israel too.They may/may not have the actual files, but all are totally of aware why Trump acts as he does-it's the kompromat. They are not naive but they are putting their own nations first ahead of Ukraine.
Das macht der nie..... Er ist Putins Steigbügel Halter. Den juckt das Schicksal der Ukraine wenig bis garnicht.
So here we are: staging shows, chasing after an aspiring dictator and a terrorist. And in the middle of this cynical theater is Ukraine and Ukrainians.
Wrong. He is fake. And a cheap one
Trump has two faces. The one he shows to Putin and the one he shows to Ukraine/Europe.
