…”we will begin by calling President Zelensky, of Ukraine, to inform him of the conversation [between Trump and Putin]…”

See the latest developments from Washington and Moscow below as reported by RTÉ, Trump and the Ukrainian press (all reports 12th February 2025).  Rather than proving that Ukraine is a proxy of the US in a war with Russia, this bartering of Ukraine over the heads of Zelensky and Ukraine, demonstrates conclusively the essential disinterest […]
