Rules:

  1. No sympathy with the enemy or its collaborators. Russian and North Korean soldiers are fascists committing a genocide. Remember that.

  2. Objective and factual reporting from the battlefield, parliaments, etc. is encouraged, even if it's about bad news for Ukraine.

  3. Insulting Putin and his cronies (Orban, Trump, Musk,...) is absolutely fine but don't use homophobic or similar language against them. Members of the queer community don't deserve to be compared to that scum. Also: Putin disciminates against gay people. If you do as well, you're part of the problem.

  4. Don't insult or use overly harsh language against other commentators.

  5. Don't submit direct links to Twitter/X and Truth Social posts. You may: Post a screenshot + quote, do a full quote and name the author, direct link to a proxy service like xcancel.com, deep link an image embedded in a tweet because Lemmy will cache a copy.

  6. Don't just complain about paywalls. If you encounter one, be a sport and link to an archived version instead. Use Firefox + uBlock Origin with the annoyances filters enabled and https://filterlists.com/lists/bypass-paywalls-clean-filter to avoid encountering many in the first place.

US President Donald Trump has reposted a message from another Truth Social user that claimed Ukraine must be prepared to cede part of its territory to Russia, otherwise it will lose even more later.

Source: Trump on Truth Social

 

Details: Trump reposted the post by another user of the social network.

Quote from the post: "Ukraine must be willing to lose some territory to Russia otherwise the longer the war goes on they will keep losing even more land!"

Background:

Earlier on Sunday, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio asserted that the US will not pressure Ukraine into making territorial concessions to Russia as part of a potential peace agreement.On Sunday, Zelenskyy stated that he is only willing to discuss territorial issues with Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin at a trilateral Ukraine-US-Russia meeting.Trump announced after the Alaska summit that he had reached an agreement with Putin for a "land swap" between Ukraine and Russia and that "Zelenskyy has to agree".According to Bloomberg, Trump informed European leaders and Zelenskyy that Putin is still demanding that Ukrainian troops withdraw from the entire territory of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts, but is prepared to freeze the front in Zaporizhzhia and Kherson oblasts. Zelenskyy has rejected this demand.On Sunday, Reuters published the demands for ending the war that Putin put forward during his meeting with Trump in Alaska.On 18 August, President Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and several European leaders will meet at the White House.

He would be fine with Eastern Europe getting slowly taken. Nobody he cares about lives there, because he doesn't live there. If anything it would be nice because it would set a precedent that he could go wandering around other parts of the globe grabbing small nations that struck his fancy.

Once the wolves turned on him, because his usefulness to them is at its end, it would all of a sudden be very different, but by then the systems he'd destroyed would be unable to protect him. And, as you pointed out, he's unlikely to live that long anyway.
