Zelenskyy Makes Urgent Plea to Trump as Putin Targets Ukraine
Oct 22, 2026 | After a bitter rift with Donald Trump left many in Ukraine fearing that the US president had swung behind Russia again, President Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the dispute head on: there’s nothing personal between me and Trump, he told CNN, but cozying up to Vladimir Putin would only “make him stronger.”
Ties between the US and Ukraine have badly deteriorated in recent weeks.

Alastair Campbell and Christiane Amanpour Debate Trump Envoy Calling Putin a "Humanitarian"

Oct 21, 2026 | "The underlying conflict is not resolvable while Putin is in office. The best that can be achieved here is a ceasefire."

Trump Sides with Putin AGAIN | The News Agents
Oct 20, 2026 | Four years of war, an estimated 450,000 deaths – and yet Donald Trump says Russia’s actions in Ukraine have been “fine”.
The US president continues to unravel, on camera, as his personal ratings plummet to new lows (just 31% at the latest count) and the Republican Party readies itself for a disastrous midterm election result in November.
Once again, Zelenskyy is on the receiving end of Trump's mood.
So why has Trump turned his back so dramatically on Zelenskyy? And what's he bargaining for with his love in for Putin? And could it all just be jealousy?
I have said it umpteen times before, but I’ll say it again: Trump is trash. Garbage! And so are the idiots who put him in power! They, too, are garbage! Are they truly deserving of the vote? A democracy can only function well if the people who are entitled to vote are intelligent enough and well—educated enough to do so! — © Mark Alexander

Trump Has a ‘Grave Misreading of Reality’ to Think Putin Will Relent | Former US Diplomat
Oct 20, 2026 | "Putin is drilling a wedge within the middle of the transatlantic community, between the US and its European allies, and that's a long-standing Russian strategic goal."
Vladimir Putin has "no intention to negotiate" and wants to "push a military advantage" which Donald Trump is handing to him, says former US ambassador Matthew Bryza.

Trump and Putin Set to Hold Peace Talks without Zelenskyy
Oct 20, 2026 | Simon Marks is joined by former defence secretary Tobias Ellwood to discuss the three-way meeting between Putin, Trump, and Xi.
The potential meeting was revealed by Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov in response to a Wall Street Journal report that the Russian President had proposed a meeting to discuss a way to bring an end to the conflict in Ukraine.
Trump also laid into Volodymyr Zelenskyy once again, suggesting that someone else needs to negotiate on Ukraine's behalf. Mr Trump said that Mr Zelenskyy is acting as a barrier to attempts to end the conflict with Russia.
What a piece of SHIT! If the powers-that-be had had the SPUNK long ago, they would have put Trump in klink where he belongs. If they had done so, the free world wouldn’t be confronted with this intractable problem today.

Trump’s Push for Deals With Russia Powers His Frustration With Ukraine
THE NEW YORK TIMES: The series of recent steps by the president that seem to favor Vladimir Putin reflect his intensifying desire to normalize the relationship with Moscow even if it means further undercutting Ukraine.

He shunted aside a bipartisan law, signed just weeks ago, imposing new tariffs on Russia. He cut a deal to purchase diesel from Moscow. His negotiators agreed on the vague outlines of a deal for much of Lukoil, a battered Russian energy firm. And he called for the replacement of President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine, whose success in taking the fight inside Russia deeply frustrates him.
President Trump’s intensifying effort in the past few weeks to rehabilitate Russia and usher President Vladimir V. Putin back into diplomatic society is remarkable for its speed, its characterization of Mr. Zelensky as the primary obstacle to peace, and its brazen denial that Russia is continuing the war that Mr. Trump says he is trying to end.
“Russia, frankly, has been fine on Ukraine,” Mr. Trump said on Monday, speaking to reporters outside the White House as he left for a campaign rally. “They haven’t been doing much,” he said, making no mention of the Russian missiles and jet-powered drones that have been targeting apartment buildings in Kyiv and Ukraine’s surviving electricity grid.
Mr. Trump’s disdain for Mr. Zelensky is hardly new. Nor is his willingness to give the benefit of the doubt to Mr. Putin, for whom he has often expressed respect and even admiration.
But what is different now is Mr. Trump’s increased determination to force a deal on Mr. Zelensky, telling him that holding out to retain occupied portions of the country’s eastern provinces is not worth it — and that there is money to be made for Ukraine, as well, if it would only drop its objections to an accord, even one written largely on Russia’s terms. » | David E.

What a disreputable bloody man the West is being led by! Trump is totally and utterly without honour. But that’s not all; it gets even worse: As we all know, he is also incompetent, self-enriching, greedy, corrupt, cruel, megalomaniacal, lacking in compassion, and much else negative besides. He is everything the West doesn’t need to lead it. Moreover, in Trump, we find all the worst that is to be found in American society: greed, self-love, lack of restraint, lack of principle, and an insatiable desire and drive for profit and money. ‘Gimme more, more, more! Gimme all you got! I wan’ it all!’
Trump went into politics with the express desire to enrich himself. He couldn’t give a tinker’s toss about the welfare of his country or its people. What Trump cares about is his bottom line: profit. He struggled to make it in business, but by God he found a cash cow in American politics. All he had to be was bent; and that comes as second nature to Trump. So, no problem there!
But let us be fair to the man... his father left him only in excess of $413m (adjusted for inflation). How could he possibly have been expected to get by with such a paltry sum of money? He was almost forced to find another very profitable pursuit in his dotage! After all, prices are high in America, and you must to keep up with them if your lifestyle is to be maintained adequately.
The man I feel sorry for is Volodymyr Zelenksyy. He has a major problem on his hands. Spare a thought for that brave man, our hero. He’s got not only ONE SHITBAG to deal with; but TWO: Trump and Putin! Just imagine!
May the Good Lord bless Zelenskyy with strength, wisdom, and continued fortitude. He needs all the help he can get, all the support. The decent world must stick with him. Slava Ukraini! (Glory to Ukraine!) — © Mark Alexander

Zelenskyy Says Ukraine 'Will Not Prevail’ if U.S. Takes Russia's Side: Full Interview

Trump’s Pause on Russia Sanctions Is ‘Reward’ for Putin, Zelenskyy Says
THE GUARDIAN: Ukrainian president warns it will embolden Russian leader and intensify war as Moscow hits country’s power plants

Volodymyr Zelenskyy has described Donald Trump’s decision to roll back sanctions on Russia as a “reward” for Vladimir Putin and warned it will embolden the Russian leader and intensify the Kremlin’s war, as Moscow launched one of its worst strikes yet on Ukraine’s power plants in an attempt to black out the country’s cities before winter.
The Ukrainian president also said he expected the Trump administration to lift more sanctions against Russia in the future and called for Europe to establish its own negotiations with Moscow as the US has sought better ties and business deals with the Kremlin.
“Unfortunately, the lifting of sanctions will continue, and I believe that the ‘diesel deal’ is the first step,” said Zelenskyy on Saturday. “Unfortunately, it seems to me that this cannot stop Putin; on the contrary, he feels joy and happiness that he has such support.”
In a social media message earlier, Zelenskyy wrote: “A US sanctions blackout, easing pressure on the aggressor, financial rewards for Putin – all of this only encourages him to keep attacking. We must not give up ground.
“We must keep trying to end the war. To end it, not give Putin every reason to continue it indefinitely.” » | Andrew Roth in Kyiv | Saturday, October 17, 2026
Donald Trump is a turncoat and a traitor. He is turning his back on his western allies to cosy up to Vlad, his ‘bromantic’ chum and marionettist. Volodymyr Zelenskyy, by contrast, is a patriotic, determined, and noble warrior for his country. He knows the enemy well and behaves and plans strategically and wisely using this knowledge. It should not be overlooked that Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his brave and long-suffering compatriots are fighting not only for the continued existence of their own country, but also for the continued existence of Europe as a whole, too. He knows that if Ukraine were to fall to the enemy, another European nation will be next on the line. Other European nations will then be in grave danger of falling, one by one, until Putin has satisfied and achieved his goals and objectives. Our support for Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the Ukrainians must continue to be unwavering. Slava Ukraini! (Glory to Ukraine!) — © Mark Alexander

Trump: Zelensky Is Destroying Ukraine
THE GUARDIAN: US president says Ukrainian leader is ‘more difficult to deal with than Putin’

Donald Trump has accused Volodymyr Zelensky of destroying Ukraine.
On Thursday, the US president said Mr Zelensky was “more difficult to deal with than [Vladimir] Putin” and called Kyiv’s latest strikes on Russian energy facilities a “disgrace”. Relations between the two leaders hit a new low after Mr Trump struck a deal to buy diesel from Russia last week.
Ukraine’s access to Elon Musk’s SpaceX Starshield satellite system, which supports Kyiv’s battlefield operations, was also limited this week. It emerged on Friday that the order to restrict access had come from inside the White House.
Mr Zelensky criticised Mr Trump on Thursday and said he was “done” with the president’s energy ceasefire, with his forces later striking a Russian oil refinery.
In response, the US president called the renewed Ukrainian attacks a “disgrace” and said Kyiv was driving up global energy prices. » | Emily Smith | Foreign Breaking News Reporter | Friday, October 16, 2026

EXCLUSIVE: President Zelenskyy 'BETRAYED' by Trump & Elon Musk | Piers Morgan Interview
Oct 14, 2026 | Piers Morgan sits down for an exclusive, in-person interview with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in his London studios.
In this hard-hitting discussion, the Ukrainian leader addresses his feelings on Trump’s energy ceasefire and diesel deal with Putin, admitting he feels ‘betrayed’ and warning that stepping away from Ukraine is "the wrong side of history."
He also delivers a direct message to Elon Musk, breaks down the staggering reality of Russian casualties on the battlefield, discusses ongoing energy attacks, and tackles the tough questions surrounding peace negotiations and territorial integrity.

Trump ‘Wants to Stop Ukraine Attacking Russian Infrastructure’ | Leigh Turner
Oct 14, 2026 | “So President Trump is desperate to get those prices down, and he sees Ukraine deploying one of the few weapons it has that really hurts Russia, which is to damage Russian fuel infrastructure. And he just wishes it would stop. And so, he is looking around for anything he can do to stop Ukraine from doing one of the few things Ukraine can do.”
Former British ambassador to Ukraine Leigh Turner says that Donald Trump’s “pro-Russian language is a bad sign” that is “putting money in the pockets of Putin.”

Donald Trump Is Playing Footsie with Vladimir Putin | Bill Browder
Oct 13, 2026 | NATO has unveiled its new “Theory of Victory” while the White House has surprised allies by lifting sanctions on Russian diesel imports. Both developments are being closely discussed at the Warsaw Security Forum, now in its second day.
“We are dealing with two alternative realities,” said Bill Browder, Head of the Global Magnitsky Justice Campaign, speaking in an interview with TVP World. According to Browder, NATO's message of deterrence stands in stark contrast to the actions of President Donald Trump, who he says is “flirting” with Vladimir Putin. “We are living in a world where there is a fairly high probability that the United States would not come to the aid of a NATO ally,” he argues.
Browder believes Trump is driven by private interests and warns that Europe has effectively been left on its own to deal with Russia. He also describes Trump's calls for presidential elections in Ukraine as “madness.” According to Browder, Putin cannot afford to stop waging war and should never be underestimated.

'USA Has Lost Its Moral Compass': Trump-Putin Deal Could Lead to a Third World War | Tobias Ellwood
Oct 11, 2026 | “This is what uncontrolled escalation looks like.”
Trump’s diesel deal with Putin is a move sought "out of desperation" and the "USA has lost its moral compass" by trading long-term security for "short-term gains", says former Conservative defence minister, Tobias Ellwood.
Trump must surely be one of Vladimir Putin’s assets. The Kremlin and Putin must surely have kompromat on him. Add to this Trump’s insatiable greed—he and his unsavoury family want to profit from any number of possible deals with Russia—deals as yet unknown, and add into the mix Putin’s ruthlessness, and the West has what must surely be described as a treasonous scenario on its hands. Trump is betraying America’s allies and the West. Clearly, Putin is the puppeteer; Trump, the puppet. Put another way, Putin is the marionettist; Trump, the marionette. It’s all now becoming as clear as the noses on our faces. — © Mark Alexander
