Summary

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says he remains “ready to sign” a US-Ukraine minerals deal despite leaving the White House without an agreement following a contentious meeting with Trump.

Speaking in London after a European leaders’ summit, Zelensky emphasized that their fractious meeting only benefited Putin.

Refusing to discuss territorial concessions, he stated the “best security guarantees are a strong Ukrainian army.”

Responding to calls from Senator Graham that he resign, Zelensky quipped he is “exchangeable for NATO” membership, saying this would mean he had “fulfilled my mission.”

    He totally should agree to whatever, and just reneg on the deal once he gets what he wants. It’s what Trump would do anyways, fuck any actual “deal” you have with dishonorable people.

      I disagree. Democrats would likely take advantage of the agreement if they win the next election.

      Remember in diablo II when you had to drop the item of the floor to trade and people waited for the other one to drop the item first then steal the item? That’s geopolitics in a nutshell lol.
