When U.S. President Donald Trump speaks with Russian leader Vladimir Putin on Tuesday, he will, in essence, be negotiating over how large a reward Moscow will receive for its 11 years of open aggression against Ukraine. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/03/18/world/politics/putin-trump-talks-ukraine-lose/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #russia #ukraine #russiaukrainewar #donaldtrump #us #vladimirputin #volodymyrzelenskyy #europe

Trump Confesses: 24-Hour Ukraine War Promise Was Just a Joke!
He clarified on Friday that he was being "a little bit sarcastic" when he repeatedly claimed during his 2024 campaign that he could end the Russia-Ukraine war in just 24 hours, even before assuming office.
@Free_Press It would be ironic if ending the war causes #Russia to collapse.
Ukrainian soldiers describe a retreat from Russia's Kursk area that was organized in places and chaotic in others, as Russian forces stormed through their lines and forced them back to a sliver of land along the border. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/03/17/world/how-ukraine-kursk-offensive-unraveled/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #russia #ukraine #russiaukrainewar
@Free_Press@mstdn.social"Had a conversation with French President Emmanuel Macron. As always, a very constructive conversation.
We discussed the results of the online meeting of leaders that took place on Saturday. The coalition of countries that are ready to work together with us to bring about a just and lasting peace is growing. This is very important.
Ukraine is ready for an unconditional 30-day ceasefire."
- President Zelensky

For quite some time, certain people in the U.S. have been 'czars', like Homan being referred to as the U.S. border 'czar'. It's always bothered me that we have adopted this Russian word, without regard for where it came from or what it means.
From Merriam-Webster:
1
: emperor
specifically : the ruler of Russia until the 1917 revolution
2
: one having great power or authority
a banking czar
Am I the only one bothered by this?
”Ryssiä”
This is a finnish slang verb for failing, to fuck it up.
It literally translates: ”to Russian it”

@Free_Press@mstdn.socialIn Great Britain, officials stated that more than 30 countries are ready to send troops for peace in Ukraine.
A representative of the British Prime Minister said that the "coalition of the willing" will include over 30 countries, and the forces they provide will be significant.
The question of the peacekeepers' response in the event of an attack is still under discussion at military meetings.

@Free_Press@mstdn.social"People who left the Kursk region do not talk about 'Nazi atrocities.' According to them, the AFU helped and did not shoot or rape anyone. This is what is different from the official picture."
Kursk activist Vladimir Sinelnikov recounts his private conversations with people who left the territories of the Kursk region controlled by Ukraine.
