🥴 Trump ‘WASN’T HAPPY’ that Putin considers Zelensky ‘NOT CREDIBLE’

💬 “I think he's going to BE GOOD. And I certainly wouldn't want to put secondary tariffs on Russia. But if they were put on, it would not be very good for them,” US President Donald Trump claimed.

Zelensky imposed a ban on negotiations with Russia at the legislative level in 2022, making it legally impossible for him to engage in any talks with Russian representatives.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said negotiations are possible with anyone willing to compromise but noted that Zelensky, whose term ended in May 2024, lacks legitimacy to sign any agreements.

⛔️Mission failed: UK and US helped orchestrate Ukraine’s 2024 Crimean Bridge attack

🟠Western-supplied ATACMS were supposed to “weaken vulnerable points” on the deck of the Crimea Bridge, while maritime drones would then “blow up next to its stanchions,” a New York Times investigation revealed.

🟠The UK helped Ukraine work out a blueprint to “bring the bridge down” together with the US and the CIA.

🟠But while the drones were being readied, the Russians hardened their defenses around the stanchions, wrote the outlet.

🟠The British military had considerable clout in Ukraine, “unlike the Americans, they had placed small teams of officers in the country” shortly after the conflict escalated in 2022.

🟠The US had first pushed back at Ukraine’s plan to strike with missiles alone, but eventually backed down.

🟠On the night of August 16, Russian air defense systems successfully repelled the entire volley of enemy ATACMS missiles.
