The U.S. expects Ukraine’s response Wednesday to a peace framework that includes U.S. recognition of Crimea as part of Russia and unofficial recognition of Russian control of nearly all areas occupied since the 2022 invasion, sources with direct knowledge of the proposal tell Axios.
Why it matters: The one-page document the U.S. presented Ukrainian officials in Paris last week describes this as Trump’s “final offer.” The White House insists it’s ready to walk away if the parties don’t make a deal soon.
This week’s final offer isn’t very good. I’ll wait for next week’s final offer, or the one after that.
Looks like Russia will have to throw another several hundred thousand working age males into the meat-grinder, to maintain that few hundred square kms of dirt.
Putin: “It’s a sacrifice my billionaire narcissism is willing to make”
Didn’t we just get photos of 50 year old Russians turning themselves over to Ukraine? Idk what you mean by ‘working age males’ anymore.
Erm, people still work at 50.
It’s official, USA is part of the problem, not part of the sollution.
That’s been true since slow-walking advanced equipment and allowing Musk to remain free and not nationalizing Starlink after he fucked parts of the counteroffensive.
“I came in to negotiate peace between the armed home invader and the homeowner. Yes, the home invader killed a few members of the family, but when I pointed a second gun at the homeowner and demanded the homeowner give up their living room permanently to the invader, and also give me the bathroom, the homeowner wouldn’t even compromise. At this point, I don’t know what more I can do.”
Steal their mineral rights by extortion.
Final offer of what? It’s a terrible offer. And walk away from making stupid suggestions? Sure, go ahead.

The implication is walking away all US military support, I believe.
Ukraine can surrender to Russia without USA’s help. Trump deal is the same as surrendering, but where USA also gets a cut.

I love his Trump thinks he can call the shots, guy is a fucking dipshit honestly get fucked.
Hey Trump, FUCK YOU!
Get fucked Trump
Oh no! Anyway…
What does unofficial recognition mean? Can a country do anything unofficially?
Wasn’t it always the case, though? Wasn’t he always implying that “Ukraine better be ready to lose some land” - aka we don’t know how to force Russia out of the lands it already invaded?
Funny. The only difference I see is that he is now fully committed to make Ukraine capitulate by any means he can, perhaps in a last ditch effort to get that mineral deal since he needs it more now due to China stopping the mineral supply.
In any case, better for incompetents to step away than fumbling the game even worse than they already did since taking office. Some “help” simply isn’t worth the cost. Europe and any other allies of freedom will see this through, one way or another.
Do it Z. Bust them ghosts
