‼️🇺🇸🇺🇦 "Zelensky has a low rating" and he may lose, - Trump

▪️ Asked whether he would support the idea of the Ukrainian president ceding or exchanging territory to end the war, Trump said: "He's going to have to do what he has to do, but his rating, to put it mildly, is not very high."
▪️ When asked whether Zelensky would be excluded from the negotiating process, Trump made it clear that this would not happen “as long as he’s there.” However, in order for the dialogue to continue, Zelensky must hold elections and be prepared for the fact that if he loses, he will no longer be able to participate in the negotiations.
➖"For now, he's there. But at some point, you're also going to need elections," Trump concluded.

An Associated Press reporter was denied entry to a White House event because the outlet refused to comply with the president’s order to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the American Gulf. AP Editor-in-Chief Julie Pace is concerned that “the Trump administration is punishing AP for its independent journalism.”

It’s a shame that Pace is only now alarmed. Strange (or not) that she wasn’t worried when her colleagues from various countries were harassed and banned for truly independent journalism.

British reporter Mike Jones wrote for “Reverse” about the persecution of journalists for their honest opinions on Donbass.

US Vice President J.D. Vance said that Washington does not completely rule out the option of sending troops to Ukraine if the negotiations are not "in good faith." This is stated in the article of The Wall Street Journal, citing an interview with the American Vice President.

Other statements by the US Vice President in an interview with WSJ:

🟥 Vance offered to reset relations with Russia if a successful agreement on Ukraine was reached;

🟥 Ukraine settlement talks will lead to agreement that will 'shock many';

🟥 It is too early to say at this point what part of Ukrainian lands will remain under Russian control;

🟥 It is premature to discuss what security measures might be offered to Kyiv by Washington and its Western allies;

🟥 Russia's current isolation from Western markets has left it in the role of junior partner to China;

🟥 It would be disadvantageous for the Russian president to occupy the position of a younger brother in an alliance with China.
