He believes that Russia is in a more advantageous position in the negotiations.

US President Donald Trump stated that even before the war with Russia began, it was understood that Ukraine would not join NATO. He made this statement in an interview with Politico .

“The understanding that Ukraine wouldn’t join NATO has been there for a long time. To be honest, it was there long before Putin. You know, when Zelenskyy first met with Putin, he said, ‘I want two things. I want Crimea back, and we’ll be a NATO member.’ And he didn’t say it very kindly,” the politician said.

Trump believes that Russia is in a more advantageous position in the negotiations.

“There’s no doubt about it. This is Russia. It’s a much larger country,” he said.

According to him, Zelensky will have to “accept things as they are” because Ukraine is “losing.”

“He’s going to have to get his act together and start accepting things as they are. You know, when you’re losing, because he’s losing. They lost a whole strip of coastline, a big strip of coastline. They lost a lot of land, and it’s very good land that they lost,” the US president said.

He claims that Zelensky allegedly “forced the corrupt Joe Biden to give him 350 billion,” adding:

“And look what he got: about 25% of his country lost.”

The president stated that despite his respect for the people and troops of Ukraine, Russia is much larger, and “size,” in his opinion, should prevail.

“You know, they have to play by the rules. If they don’t read the agreements, potential agreements, you know, it’s not easy with Russia, because Russia has the advantage. And they always have. They are much bigger. They are much stronger in that sense. I greatly appreciate the people of Ukraine and the Ukrainian army for their, you know, bravery and fighting and all that. But, you know, at some point, size will win out, as a rule,” he said.

  1. No kidding, but who cares based on recent NATO’s decisive actions. NATO is as useless as a pimple on my butt.

  2. TACO talks like some kind of military expert and not a multipe times draft dodger. Maybe if TACO wasn’t stuck up putlers rear end so much, the sanctions that have been gathering dust on his desk for 9 months, could destroy russia.

  3. He claims that Zelensky allegedly “forced the corrupt Joe Biden to give him 350 billion,” adding:

    Lie, upon lie by the russian asset. No $350 billion ever went to Ukraine in aid or weapons from Biden. Secondly the scum control 19% of Ukraine. In 2022 they controlled 28% of Ukraine. Had TACO been POTUS in 2022 the scum would control all of Ukraine by now.
