Summary

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy dismissed U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s proposal for a rapid peace deal with Russia, arguing it would lead to a “loss” for Ukraine.

Trump, who has repeatedly claimed he could resolve the war in 24 hours, aims for a quick end, but Zelenskyy insists that a rushed settlement would compromise Ukraine’s independence.

Speaking in Budapest, Zelenskyy also rejected Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s call for a cease-fire, citing failed attempts in 2014.

Additionally, he warned of North Korean troop involvement in Ukraine if Western allies don’t increase political pressure on Pyongyang.

      Trump to Baltic states: “I am altering the deal, pray I do not alter it further.”

      Just kidding: “You better say nice things about me or you’re next!”

        They ARE next, no matter what.

        Europe should start sending European troops in to defend the Ukraine now, because if Trump gets his way Putin will not stop and just start picking off European countries one by one and trump will make peace by just forcing the countries to surrender
