>U.S. President Donald Trump said Monday that Russian President Vladimir Putin was ready to accept European peacekeepers in Ukraine
That’s very odd. I wonder who got this all backwards.
Putin has consistently rejected European forces on the ground in Ukraine. What he *did* apoear to agree to was [Article 5-like security guarantees](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/crm4ln2ekg1o) (which was also on the table in 2022), but that’s a completely different thing.
Was it Trump that misunderstood, or was it the reporter?

Trump just looks for photo op and press show off, most things he say is lie.

Who gives a shit what he wants? He’s deploying North Korean troops in Ukraine – so he gets no say on how Europe responds.

Since when does he get to tell the other side what to do?

Trump didn’t get his boss’s instructions correctly… Such a poor employee.

He is ruling out Europeans, Americans, NATO on purpose, he would rather see North Korea, African or Chinese peacekeepers so when he breaks the deal, he has an army in place already to take the rest of Ukraine and probably the Baltics with it. He would most likely do a false flag op to bring it on. We new’s to break the tyrants back and put the country in a wheelchair

Those bastards are playing perfectly coordinated 4 hands mafia piano piece. While vladimir pretends to scare Europe, Donald extorts all he can to provide „protection“. And, mamma mia, it works !

Looks like Trump is finding out the hard way about the “Hot Dog Slip” technique that Hafez Al-Assad mastered while dealing with Western World Leaders when he was ruling Syria.
Putin will never come to a peace agreement. He will always sell Trump on the idea of peace, set it up, then slip the “Hot Dog from the bun” the last second.
If Trump had the attention span to watch a three hour BBc documentary on Syria, he would learn this very quickly.

Putin wants all of Ukraine. He might settle for an installment plan: part now, the rest in a few years after he regroup.
And he certainly doesn’t want any peacekeepers–they would just get in the way of retaliation against any Ukraininas he finds.
Trump? Trump will bow his head and ask Putin what he want, then give it to him. Everything else Trump does is posturing, groveling, and fake.

Well, its a good thing that Putin gets to decide these things /s

It’s not so much that he is contradicting Trump as Trump is a liar and his puppet.
Trump is irrelevant

Putin is very sincere. The Ukrainians should absolutely give up vast swathes of land to secure the deal. /s

No surprise. Putin still feel he has the upper hand in setting term. He doesn’t want guard dog that can actually bite instead of yelping.

Putin rejects a lot of things, including being an actual human being with morals, a conscience and respect for life.

If Obama (or heck, even Bush) was still in office, I wonder if we would have already started the bombing runs in Moscow.

Putin has no intentions of any peace that does not give him everything he wants, which is all of Ukraine. He has attacked the country twice now. After he was allowed to keep Crimea after he invaded, he learned that the west does not have the stomach to resist him. So why would he agree to anything.
waterloograd on
He really is good at making Trump look weak, I wonder when Trump will realize it.
AverellCZ on
Why do we care what he wants?
Niceguy955 on
Why the f—ing f— do we care about what Putin „rejects“? He wants this was to end in a full Ukraine capitulation, taking over Ukrainian lands, changing the government to a Belarus-like regime, and having those really Ukrainians stop complaining about those kids he kidnapped. Anything less than that, and his strongman posture crumbles, and the vultures start circling. I’m his mind he has to win, or he too may fall out of a window.

Putin doesn’t want Peace. He wants the restoration of the Soviet Union
Putin is playing for time. He’ll drag things out as long as he can. He didn’t invade Ukraine just to give up for nothing.
It’s not his country, it’s not his choice.
Europe rejects Russian troops in Ukraine
Trump is clueless.
Daddy didn’t agree with Donald. SAD!
Seriously, is anyone really surprised here? Trump is the weakest leader you could have for these moments.
Putin want to put the old USSR back together and is dragging this out to keep the US out of the conflict and hold off the EU at the same time.
A leader with actual strength would ratchet up the support to Ukraine and make this plan an impossibility.
Let Ukraine decide who they want in their country
Do it anyway. Do it now.
The article references [an earlier Trump statement](https://www.politico.eu/article/ukraine-war-donald-trump-vladimir-putin-european-troops-peacekeeping):
