Trump and Putin agree to an immediate ceasefire...

...for energy and infrastructure in Ukraine conflict.
Okay, a cease fire on Energy/nuclear power and infrastructure is a positive start to ending this war. You libs can think or say anything you want about Trump and totally hate him, but he has already accomplished more to bring about some peace for Russia/Ukraine than Biden. Biden had 3+ years and accomplished nothing except give away billions to Ukraine. Trump has accomplished more in just 3 months.

And how many Ukrainians died while Biden was in charge?


You, and Putin, seem to be forgetting a three-way treaty known as the 1994 Budapest Memorandum.

Essentially, Ukraine agreed to give up all its nuclear weapons to Russia in exchange for safety from a U.S. or Russian invasion. Russia's invasion of Ukraine violates that treaty. And as a signatory to that 1994 Budapest Memorandum, the U.S. has a definite interest in righting Putin's current wrongs.

In the final version of the deal, Russia promised not to attack Ukraine. While the U.S. and the U.K. assured Ukraine they would aid if it was attacked by Russia, that promised aid did not guarantee military support like a NATO country would receive.

In 2009, Russia and the U.S. announced that the assurances in the Budapest Memorandum would continue to remain in effect in the future.

Russia promised specifically NOT to invade Ukraine, and the U.S. promised specifically to ASSIST Ukraine if the treaty were ever violated. And that's what the U.S. had been doing until tRump trashed the treaty and switched to appeasement.
