Zelensky: I blocked the agreement with Trump on mineral rights as it does not protect Ukraine interests.

Then he goes diplomatic. It must be legally correct regarding investments and security guarantees. I don’t yet see in the document. 1/

Zelensky about meeting in Saudi Arabia: I haven't seen any invitations for Ukraine to meet with envoys. We have no documents or negotiations with our strategic partners. Russia is not one of them. 2/

Zelensky: To defend against a potential Russian offensive, we need not 50, 100, or 300 thousand. European leaders understand this and are considering the financial implications. 3/

Losing the alliance between Europe and the U.S. would benefit only Putin and North Korea. 4/

Zelensky: If Putin only wants a ceasefire to ease his isolation, that’s not real peace. The U.S. holds key political power, and its approach to Russia matters. 5/

If Trump can push Putin toward genuine peace, we may achieve real security guarantees for the first time - if all sides, especially America, are ready. 6/

Zelensky: European leaders, once more skeptical than the U.S., are now more ready to support Ukraine. They understand the danger - Putin will come, not if he comes. 7/

He may test NATO, and without strong sanctions and unity between the EU and the U.S., that is very dangerous. 8/

Everyone needs to get used to the fact that Ukraine can no longer be told where to be. 9/

Zelensky: Strong security guarantees are not possible without U.S. Troops on the borders or front lines must include U.S. and European partners. 10/

Without the U.S, it’s weak. The number of troops matters, and for now, Europe alone is not enough. 11/

Zelensky on elections: No one raises this issue at a high level, except Putin, sometimes the U.S. Everyone understands our law and the consequences. 12/

The shift to a contract army was the right step, aligning with U.S. practices. This war isn’t just about manpower but advanced weapons. Now it's about drones, not just tanks. 13/

Zelensky: North Korea involvement in war is global threat. They’ve gained experience in missiles, drones, and electronic warfare, and they will use it. 14/

Distance no longer matters - missiles and drones fly thousands of kilometers. If Russia wins, others will follow. We must defend values and protect every country, no matter its size. 15/

Zelensky: The U.S. needs to see the reality of this war firsthand, without outside influence. I invited Mr. Kellogg to the front to witness it himself and speak with our commanders. 16/

I want him to bring this understanding to President Trump. After that, we can discuss concrete steps toward our goals. 17X

Chinese FM Wang Yi in Moscow: Friends forever, never enemies. Putin hosts Wang Yi today, while Lavrov lays groundwork for a Russia-China summit set for May, Reuters. 1/

China solidifies its alliance with Russia, yet it quietly expands influence elsewhere.

Bloomberg: Japan and South Korea have reopened free-trade talks with China after a decade-long pause. 2/

In my view, the U.S. is risking to let China build coalitions with the countries the U.S. is pushing away. Trump tariffs create an opportunity for Beijing to engage historical U.S. allies. 3/

Ursula von der Leyen defies Trump: Many Europeans feel disheartened by the new U.S. tariffs. Europe didn’t start this. But we have what we need — the biggest single market, the leverage to negotiate, the means to strike back. We’ll defend our interests. 1/

Ursula von der Leyen: The U.S. has announced 25% tariffs on steel, aluminum, cars, and parts. They plan to extend duties to semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, and timber. On April 2, 2025, we expect further tariffs on almost all goods, affecting many countries worldwide. 2/

Ursula von der Leyen: In response to U.S. tariffs, we’ll act on three fronts. We’re open to talks — but ready to hit back. We’ll expand trade with other partners. And we’ll strengthen the EU single market — remove barriers, grow our scale, boost competitiveness. 3/

Trump: We made a deal for rare earth with Ukraine. It was all done. And they’re now saying, “Well, I’ll only do that deal if we get into NATO”.

That was never discussed. But it’s probably the reason the war started, actually. 1/

Q: How serious are you about imposing oil sanctions on Russia?

Trump: I want to make sure that he [Putin] follows through. And I think he will.

I don't want to go secondary tariffs on his oil, but it’s something I would do if I thought he wasn’t doing the job. 2/

Trump: The Europeans get paid back the money that they gave, and we don’t. Europe is in for around a hundred billion dollars.

We're in for 350 billion - more than three times as much. Whatever the number, we're in for substantially more than Europe. 3/

WP: Many in Europe doubt that a lasting ceasefire in Ukraine can be achieved in the near future. [I agree! I think it will take several months to get to the Black Sea ceasefire if at all. And who knows how much more for the overall ceasefire.] 1/

And if Trump loses interest in peace in the meantime because it is too hard, the war will continue. 2/

WP: Officials admit that sanctions relief will be part of the negotiations, but a temporary ceasefire must take a first place. 3/

In 2023, China supplied 76% of Russia’s imports of machine tools, thermal imagers, optics, and communications gear used on the battlefield, reports @KSE_Institute.

Compare it with 2021, when China exported to Russia 41% of its thermal imagers, optical sights, radios, and CNC machines — all used in weapons production. In the meantime, the EU dropped from 41% to 2% in 2023. 2/

KSE Institute finds that China supplied 90% of Russia’s CHP items imports in 2023 — everything from secure radio modules to CNC machines. Out of these Chinese shipments, 18% were Western goods rerouted through Chinese intermediaries, and 16% were Western goods made in China. 3/

Trump slams Zelensky: He better take the deal or face “big problems.” Wants NATO - won’t happen, he knows it.

Trump hits Putin: Supposed to make a deal. There’s a psychological deadline - if he’s stringing us along, I won’t be happy.

Also, U.S. will succeed, Boom Town USA. 0/

Trump: Zelensky's trying to back out of the rare earth deal. And if he does that, he's got some big problems

We made a deal. Now he’s saying, “I want to renegotiate the deal.”

He wants to be a member of NATO. He was never going to be a member of NATO. He understands that. 1/

Q: Is your relationship with Putin is at its lowest point right now?

Trump: No, I don't think so. I don't think he's going to go back on his word.

We've always gotten along well, despite the Russia hoax - created by Clinton and Schiff and all of these lunatics. 2/
