Also, more and more reports are confirming what should have been admitted for years. The Trump administration has business deals ready to go with Putin, once they can bully the Ukrainians into surrendering more of their land and people. This is the real Trump/Kushner win-win.

🇺🇸❗️🇺🇦 NYT: The Trump administration’s Ukraine talks with Russia have expanded to include a multibillion-dollar deal for Lukoil’s international assets. Putin raised the deal with Witkoff and Kushner during a Sept. 5 Kremlin meeting, presenting it as a way to rebuild U.S.-Russia business ties.
