Q: What would it take to force Zelenskyy and Putin to sit down together, maybe with you?

Trump: It’s going to happen, but it should have happened 3 months ago. 1/
Q: Are you closer today to secondary sanctions on Russia?

Trump: We're looking at that whole situation. It could be that we'll have to put secondary sanctions.

Q: Sooner than 50 days?

Trump: Maybe, yeah. 2/
Trump on the expiring nuclear arms reduction agreement between the U.S. and Russia in 6 months:

That's a big problem for the world when you take off nuclear restrictions.

That's not an agreement you want to expire. We're starting to work on that. 3/
Trump: Hamas pulled out of negotiating in Gaza. It was too bad. Hamas didn't really want to make a deal. I think they want to die, and it's very bad. 4/
Q: Macron said France will recognize the Palestinian state. Is it counterproductive?

Trump: What he says doesn't matter. It's not going to change anything.

He's a very good guy, I like him, but his statement doesn't carry any weight. 5/
Q: What do you think of the trade deal with the EU?

Trump: We have a 50/50 chance, maybe less, of making a deal with the EU. It'll be a deal where they have to buy down their 30% tariffs. 6/
Trump: We made a deal with Japan. Japan is putting up $550B to lower their tariffs, and they are also open for free trade with the U.S.

Maybe we get such a deal with the EU. 7/
Q: Do you think that the Supreme Court's ruling on presidential immunity would apply to Obama?

Trump: It probably helps him a lot. He's done criminal acts, but he has immunity. 8X

Hillary Clinton: If Trump thinks he can dominate the Western Hemisphere and give Europe to Putin, he’s mistaken — and Europeans must prove it.

If you want a just, lasting peace in Ukraine, you have to better equip them. That’s the only thing Putin understands. 1/
Clinton: One of the biggest threats we face is Trump and Putin forcing an insecure, unjust end to the war in Ukraine that favors Putin.

There is reporting about corruption among their allies and oligarchs trying to profit from the misery and death of the Ukrainian people. 2/
Clinton: The rift between Europe and the US is deep. For a year, Trump and his administration have baited and insulted European leaders, countries and civilization.

After disbelief that a close ally would act this way, Europeans are pulling together and facing the reality. 3/

Leavitt: Yesterday there was a round of trilateral talks between the U.S., Russia, and Ukraine. Meaningful progress was made.

Both sides agreed to brief their leaders and continue working toward a peace deal. Another round of talks will follow. 1/
Reporter: Zelenskyy said it is not fair Trump is saying Ukraine has to make concessions and not Russia.

Leavitt: The President would say it's not fair that thousands of Ukrainians are losing their lives, and Russians too, in this deadly war. 2/
Leavitt: The President also sees this situation as unfair for the American people who were funding the war effort before President Trump stopped it.

The U.S. continues selling weapons to NATO that are sent to Ukraine. 3X

Ukraine’s former army chief Zaluzhnyi: Tensions with Zelenskyy began soon after the 2022 invasion over how to defend Ukraine.

It peaked when SBU agents raided my office. I called Yermak and warned: I will fight you. The 2023 counteroffensive dispute was especially bitter, AP. 1/ Image
Zaluzhnyi: Dozens of SBU officers entered my Kyiv headquarters in 2022. I stopped them from searching documents and computers. I viewed the raid as intimidation.

2/
Zaluzhnyi: My 2023 plan concentrated forces into a single fist toward Zaporizhzhia and the Sea of Azov to cut Russia’s land corridor to Crimea. Political decisions dispersed the troops and diluted the strike.

Stubb: Is it in U.S. interests that Finland, with its 1,340 km Russia border, has a strong army?

That Sweden and Norway defend the Arctic? That Russia creates no spheres of influence in Europe? Yes. Right now, interests matter more than values.

1/
Stubb: Europe and America’s interests sometimes align, sometimes don’t — values are complicated.

One strand is MAGA, which sees Europe as too liberal, “killing itself with immigration,” and attacks places like London as multicultural melting pots.

2/
Stubb: The other strand is policy — America First. There’s a pecking order: 1) Western Hemisphere, 2) Pacific, 3) Europe, 4) Middle East, 5) Africa. That’s the reality we live in now.

Kasparov: Any real compromise removes the causes of conflict. Ukraine-Russia “peace talks” are cowardly and corrupt, openly corrupt on Trump’s side.

Europe isn’t ready to admit this isn’t just a standoff, but a real war. Even after four years, it’s still living in illusions. 1/
Kasparov: The cause of this war is Putin’s desire to destroy Ukrainian statehood, restore imperial influence in Eastern Europe, and revise the Cold War’s outcome.

A “compromise” just lets him regroup — his war is against the liberal democratic West.

2/
Kasparov: Witkoff is basically a mid-level real estate speculator now trying to “sell property the size of New Jersey.”

Europe makes a brave face but avoids saying the simple words: Ukraine must win. Instead, it keeps searching for a middle ground to avoid decisive action.

Ukraine recaptured 78 sq miles of land in 5 days — its fastest pace since summer 2023.

That equals Russia’s total gains for the entire December, due to Russian battlefield communications collapsed, The Telegraph. 1/ Image
After Starlink access was restricted to verified Ukrainian terminals, up to 90% of Russian units reportedly lost connectivity — crippling drone coordination and command links. 2/
ISW: Ukrainian counterattacks likely leveraged the Starlink block.

Russian milbloggers report C2 disruption. Drones were grounded. Armored vehicles advanced through the grey zone — normally a kill zone. 3/
