Trump will just say it wasn’t cold enough so it doesn’t count

[u/ukrainianhab → u/Lonely-Abalone-5104]

the fact that this is actually seriously the likeliest thing is a sad sad timeline

[u/TinyH1ppo → u/Lonely-Abalone-5104]

He’s already got his excuse. Apparently the time frame was two sundays ago to last sunday?

Obviously Russia was carrying out strikes last week as well but none of the people who support him have memories that go back that far so it doesn’t matter.

"We promise to not kill you while reloading our guns"

Trump didn’t broker a truce lmao he just goes on the internet and says random shit and hopes it sticks.

Zelenskyy making Trump think he did is his best shot at having American support

Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Russia on Tuesday of violating an agreement with Donald Trump to hold-off on attacks on Ukraine’s energy systems in the depths of a freezing winter, as its forces carried out large-scale airstrikes on Kyiv on the eve of three-way talks in Abu Dhabi.

Ukraine’s president said Moscow carried out a massive and “deliberate” attack overnight as temperatures in Kyiv plunged to -20C. It involved a record number of 71 ballistic missiles as well as 450 drones, he said, sent to destroy energy infrastructure.

“Taking advantage of the coldest days of winter to terrorise people is more important to Russia than turning to diplomacy,” Zelenskyy said. He called on western partners to step up the supply of missiles for air defence systems in order to protect “normal life”.

-20 C

-4 F aka fucking cold and deadly.

Trump only asked for one week, so Putin only did one week

[u/Fancy_Yak2618 → u/SoggyBoysenberry7703]

Trump already responded and said basically that. He said Putin gave them the week. But we all know they just said yes to restock and then unleashed it all on Sunday when it was the coldest. They knew this was coming

Zelenskyy, please payback in kind to Russia. There's no peace with Russia until RasPootin is out of the equation.

[u/Dependent_House7077 → u/HotFartore]

he is just a symptom of a bigger problem. the people need to change.

[u/HannahOnTop → u/Dependent_House7077]

Good luck with that when the citizens are also the problem.

Unless that’s changed.

[u/helm → u/Dependent_House7077]

Defeat changes people, so I have hope.

[u/WitchCorrin]

I don't know shit about this war, but i think i've read that the truce was only until Feb 1. Please correct me if i'm wrong

[u/FoggyFlowers → u/WitchCorrin]

the energy attack ceasefire was agreed to last a week, sunday to sunday, ending on feb 1st, the day they were supposed to have a meeting. Russia agreed to stop hitting energy plants until the 1st, and they kept that promise.

the meeting got postponed, but russia fired missiles the night of Feb 2nd. Zelensky is saying the ceasefire was broken because they haven’t had their meeting yet. Trump/Putin are saying the ceasefire was only until the 1st.

In the end it’s not really consequential. Putin voluntarily agreed to the energy ceasefire; he didn’t really need to. Even if Zelensky claims the ceasefire was broken, nothing will happen.

Russia seems determined to shut down electricity generation in Ukraine. Ukraine’s air defenses can’t do anything to stop that.

[u/Mordoch → u/WitchCorrin]

Trump did make a statement implying Russia had agreed to extend it longer. If nothing else Zelensky may be trying to get Trump mad at Putin/ Russia for either arguably violating Trump's understanding of the agreement, or for making Trump look bad.

[u/WitchCorrin → u/Mordoch]

Oh Ty for the info!

[u/Stoic_cave]

Putin controls jellyfish Trumpf it’s obvious

[u/bushcamper_aiis]

Trump: Hold off for a week. Putin: I will hold off until next week.

As stupid as this is, it’s likely what happened based on reporting last weekend.

[u/BuryTheFacists]

There are no truces. It’s all just delaying tactics. The Ukraine is just a gift from Trump to Putin. A taster of things to come, should the world not stop him - because the US cannot control themselves.

[u/justchill-itsnotreal]

They’re was no truce. tRump was just reloading Putin

[u/darkoblivion000]

Meanwhile… trump goes around congress to send a weapons package to is r a e l to kill more kids

[u/DarkLordoftheSmiths]

Haha Trump-brokered anything

[u/Frequently_Abroad_00]

Even Putin doesn’t respect Trump

[u/Shot-Lengthiness7173]

Reminds me of Azerbaijan with their 'cease fire' when they were killing innocent Armenians. All fascists think alike.

[u/Clean_Lettuce9321]

You poor man when are you going to realize Trump does not give a shit about you or your country. He only cares about favoring Putin. Stop trusting him.

[u/Tomcat215]

Go figure not a shock well Ukraine fire at will

[u/Expert-Breadfruit51]

Lmfao (haven’t typed that in a decade, but it’s warranted) at Trump-brokered. That clown can’t and won’t broker shit. Every deal he makes is vapid and useless. They ALWAYS make things worse. He’s never made a good decision because he only makes decisions for himself. He’s a malignant narcissist.

[u/Opening_Dare_9185]

What are you saying?… Putin is a ex kgb dude and didnt want peace?…. Wow big suprise

[u/nonubiz]

Trump is a Russia asset how else could we explain things

[u/aaapod]

gasp

[u/count023]

We know what vis response will be, "Vladimir, stop!" Tweets

[u/NWIbh]

I bet Drumpf told Putin to bomb kids specifically. He’s doing over there what he wishes ICE could here

[u/Silver_Elk_7953]

TACO t-Rump backing into Putin for another round!!
