Trump Takes Orders from Putin over War in Ukraine, as Russia Pushes Propaganda Plan upon President

Dec 30, 2025 | Donald Trump claims he can end the war in Ukraine—but the optics and timing of recent events tell a far more troubling story. As Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy traveled to Florida for critical peace talks, Trump publicly highlighted a phone call with Vladimir Putin, positioning himself as the central power broker while Russia escalated threats and spread disinformation. In this video, we break down how Russia’s sudden claim of a foiled drone attack on Putin’s residence fits a familiar pattern of information warfare, why Zelenskyy has warned of imminent strikes on Kyiv’s government buildings, and how Trump’s personalized, optics-driven diplomacy risks pressuring Ukraine rather than confronting Russian aggression.

US Wants Ukraine to Withdraw from Donbas and Create ‘Free Economic Zone’, Says Zelenskyy

THE GUARDIAN: Ukrainian president says plan would not be fair without guarantees that Russia would not simply take over zone

The US wants Ukraine to withdraw its troops from the Donbas region, and Washington would then create a “free economic zone” in the parts Kyiv currently controls, Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said.

Previously, the US had suggested Kyiv should hand over the parts of Donbas it still controlled to Russia, but the Ukrainian president said on Thursday that Washington had now suggested a compromise version in which Ukrainian troops would withdraw, but Russian troops would not advance into the territory.

“Who will govern this territory, which they are calling a ‘free economic zone’ or a ‘demilitarised zone’ – they don’t know,” said the Ukrainian president, speaking with journalists in Kyiv on Thursday.
Zelenskyy said Ukraine did not believe the plan was fair without guarantees that Russian troops would not simply take over the zone after a Ukrainian withdrawal. Zelenskyy said: “If one side’s troops have to retreat and the other side stays where they are, then what will hold back these other troops, the Russians? Or what will stop them disguising themselves as civilians and taking over this free economic zone? This is all very serious. It’s not a fact that Ukraine would agree to it, but if you are talking about a compromise then it has to be a fair compromise.” » | Shaun Walker in Kyiv | Thursday, December 11, 2025

Trump’s Secret Business Deals with Putin—Profit over Peace? | To the Point

Dec 4, 2025 | Are U.S.–Russia talks about Ukraine really about peace—or big business? Donald Trump didn’t just send diplomats. He sent his son-in-law Jared Kushner and real estate mogul Steve Witkoff to Moscow. Behind the so-called peace plan, insiders claim major economic deals with Vladimir Putin are on the table. Could this come at Ukraine’s expense and threaten Europe’s security?

Meanwhile, Ukraine is losing ground on the battlefield, and a corruption scandal shakes its leadership. On To the Point we ask: Trump’s secret business deals with Putin—profit over peace?

Guests: Roman Goncharenko, DW – Malte Lehming, Tagesspiegel - Sudha David-Wilp, German Marshall Fund


Diplomats should be negotiating an end to this war, not Trump’s friends and family members. Witkoff has Russian roots and is a man who has made his money in real estate. Making deals will be in his DNA! And as for Kushner, we all know what he’s interested in: big bucks! Isn’t it true to say that the Trump regime is trying to bring this war to a close as quickly as possible so that Trump & Co get on as quickly as possible with enriching themselves? These people don’t give a damn about a just peace or Europe's security. Nor do they care how much land Ukraine has to give up as long as deals with Russia can be made as soon as possible. Trump can see that there are billions to be made and he wants to make those billions now. Time is not on the old man’s side.

Zelenskyy should give up no land to Russia. Not under any circumstances. Putin must be punished for his aggression. If he isn’t, he won’t stop at Ukraine. Poland or the Baltic States will be next on Putin’s list to invade. — © Mark Alexander
