Meni ovo zvuci kao da je Ukrajna na kolenima pred USA bbc Zelensky expressed a willingness to consider a partial truce - in the air, and at sea - if Moscow did likewise. He also expressed regret for the way the White House meeting had gone. That's despite many observers believing he was the victim of a political trap. He again thanked America, naming Trump specifically, for previous aid, and said he was prepared to sign a deal with the US on accessing Ukrainian minerals. Ukraine has resisted three years of full-scale invasion by its enemy, Russia. But it's the actions of an ally that's left its underbelly exposed - the radical pivot of US foreign policy by President Trump.

Jesi navela sta je odobrio, ali ja sam te pitao nesto drugo, sta je pomogao? I nije Zelenski rekao da 'niko nije reagovao', nego da su se administracije i predsednici menjali, ali da ni jedan od njih nije uspeo da promeni Putinov pristup i da je to ono sto njega, ali i ceo demokratski i slobodoljubiv svet brine. I tu je Trump mogao da prekine i kaze 'ok, I feel you, bro, we are on top this etc umesto sto je poceo da ga vredja i ponizava. Da, to je problem. Stvar koja traje od 2014. se resava odlukom o kojoj se razmisljao, pazi sad, ceo vikend. Kako to moze da bude dobra odluka? S jedne strane imas konflikt koji traje 10 godina, a sa druge jednosatni press koji je vecinom bio vrlo normalna razmena gledista sve do cuvene potpredsednicke ambush. I opet, 10 godina naspram jednog pressa. Tebi to ima logike? Sve i da ne znamo istoriju odnosa izmedju USA i Rusije (USSR). Vrlo sam svestan kad je sve, kako kazes, otislo tamo gde kazes. I opet ti kazem, nista sporno nije bilo do trenutka kad je potpredsednik poceo da vredja Zelenskog i izmislja stvari koje je ovaj rekao, odnosno nije rekao. Vidi, u ovakvim stvarima znas i sama da je mnogo bitnije sta neko radi, nego sta kaze. A jos manje bitno sta neko ne kaze. Jeste, Trump nije rekao Ukrajni da kapitulira, ali zaustavljanje pomoci u ovom momentu, ili prosle godine u otprilike isto ovo doba blokiranje odluke o 'racunu' za pomoc Ukrajni, ili sadasnje direktno pruzanje pomoci Rusiji kroz podizanje sankcija, razmeni ambasadora i zajednicki nastup u UN je zapravo pritisak na Ukrajnu da na neki nacin kapitulira. A Zelenski je rekao da su za kompromis, cak i za 'teritorijalne koncesije', ali da je to 'racun bez krcmara' jer 'krcmar' - Putin vec 10 godina radi sta zeli i jedino sta ga zanima je bezuslovna kapitulacija do koje ce nastaviti da maltretira milione ljudi, sa ili bez Trumpa. Zasto da se ne razgovara tako? A kako drugacije? Sta je sporno, u nekom pretpostavljenom scenariju da mene neko maltretira, a ja trazim pomoc od tebe pred medijima? Valjda je poenta da taj neko prestane da me maltretira, a ne sto su mediji tu? Zamisli situaciju da ti neka budala preti, ti pozoves policiju, dodju i mediji, ali ti pred njima neces da kazes policiji da ti budala preti, i da ti je, cak, i naneo neke povrede. Tebi to ima smisla? Meni ni najmanje. A koliko bi to tek imalo smisla da policija tebi i tvojima pocne da preti i govori da prestanes da pricas jer si nezahvalna, jer eto, policija se toliko brine o tvojoj bezbednosti, a uopste nije lepo pricati lose pred medijima o tome ko ti preti ili cak i zlostavlja. Meni to uopste nema smisla, bas uzasna zamena zrtve i nasilnika koja nema bas nikakva opravdanja, osim u politickoj areni, medju politicarima koje uopste ne zanimaju nikakve vrednosti ili pravda, jedino interes i bogacenje.

bbc Border reports from Ukraine confirm US aid into the country has been paused, Polish Prime minister Donald Tusk has said. Tusk told a news conference ahead of the government’s weekly meeting in Warsaw that information had been received from both the border and the international hub for supplies to Ukraine at Jasionka airport near the city of Rzeszow, south-eastern Poland. “Today, a decision about suspending American help for Ukraine and to possibly start lifting sanctions on Russia was announced," Tusk said. "We have no reason today to think that they are just words. Reports coming in from the border, also from our hub in Jasionka, confirm the announcements of the American side. “The situation is serious. I don’t need to convince anyone that it requires special concentration from the government,” he told ministers.

Odobravanje prodaje oruzja je daleko od pomoci. Prvi mandat mu se zavrsio 2020, a ruska invazija je pocela 2022, tako da je on bas tesko mogao da pomogne Ukrajni. Naprotiv, svojim izjavama dok je bio u prvom mandatu, tipa da je NATO mrtav, samo je ohrabrivao Rusiju i Putina da se odluce na invaziju. Citav sukob? Inkriminisani press je bio u petak, a pomoc je ukinuta u ponedeljak (nakon koordinacije sa Kremljom). Kakav je to 'citav sukob' koji traje, pazi sad, ceo vikend? Samo te pregovore niko ne vidi. Trumpovi izaslanici pregovaraju o razmeni ambasadora I skidanju sankcija sa Rusijom, a Ukrajna uopste i ne ucestvuje, cak USA zvanicnici tvrde da im tu sada nije mesto. Kakvi su to pregovori gde ti 'zavrces ruku' savezniku? A bodris agresora da nastavi sa ubijanjem civila. Samo od razgovora Trumpa i Putina, do danas je poginulo preko 70 civila u preko 3000 vazdusnih napada. Kakvi su to pregovori? I kako on pokusava da 'resi rat', kako kazes? Tako sto ce Ukrajna bezuslovno da kapitulira? Jel to resenje za koje se zalaze Trump i njegova administracija, a i vecinska Amerika? Kad je to Zelenski rekao? Covek, ako nista drugo, makar se beskrajno desetinama puta zahvaljivao na pomoci. Nikome on nije 'drzao predavanje' (a i da jeste, sta je to strasno? Sigurno je bolje upucen u materiju od ljudi koji verovatno ni Ukrajnu, a kamoli Krim ili Donbas ne znaju da pokazu na karti), samo je pokusao da odgovori na besmislene optuzbe Vensa na pressu koji je od vecine ozbiljnih medija oznacen kao bullying and harassment. A koji je doneo beskrajnu radost Kremlju. Bas vrhunska i velikodusna pomoc, nema sta.

DW analiza Steps that seemed unthinkable just a short time ago are being openly discussed in Berlin. There is talk of huge new multi-billion-euro programs. The goal is to enable the Bundeswehr to defend the country on its own, without the US and in cooperation with other European countries. And to continue to support Ukraine in its fight against Russia, even if the massive American support that has been provided to date were to be completely or partially withdrawn. Sums of up to €400 billion ($419 billion) have been mentioned. This is money that Germany will have to borrow. This is being called a "special fund." However, this would require a two-thirds majority in the German parliament. And that would have to come from the politicians who are still in the parliament that was formed in 2021. This is because the new parliament, or Bundestag, which will hold its inaugural session no later than March 25th, does not have the necessary two-thirds majority to pass such a resolution. This is mainly due to the large number of votes cast for the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) and the Left Party.

cnn “The impact is going to be big. I would call it crippling,” said Mark Cancian, a senior adviser with the Center for Strategic and International Studies who has closely followed the war. Cancian estimated that Ukraine would feel the impacts of the pause in aid within two to four months, as aid from European countries helps Kyiv remain in the fight for now. “That’s why they don’t fall off a cliff, but when your supplies get cut in half, eventually that shows up on the front lines,” Cancian said. “Their front lines would continue to buckle and eventually they would break and Ukraine would have to accept an adverse – even catastrophic – peace settlement.” But Cancian warned the Trump administration has more forms of aid to Ukraine that can be paused or canceled altogether, including intelligence sharing and the training of Ukrainian forces. “There might be a way out of this, but it’s going to be extremely humiliating for Zelensky,” Cancian said. Ukraine could likely sustain its current fighting pace for several weeks — perhaps until the start of the summer — before a US pause would begin to have a major effect, Western officials said in the wake of the decision. The Biden administration rushed shipments of weapons to Ukraine in its waning days, providing the country with large stockpiles of advanced weapons. It is those sophisticated weapons — including the long-range ATACMS missiles — that have allowed Ukraine to strike deep into Russian territory, a strategy that could suffer if those weapons remain paused. While European nations may be able to replace US shipments of artillery, supplemented by Ukraine’s own growing defense industry, the most advanced weapons used by Kyiv come from the United States.

Opet te pitam, kako Trump brani Ukrajnu? U tome je problem, Trump ne brani Ukrajnu, Trump ne zeli da prihvati medjunarodnu preuzetu obavezu svoje zemlje, koju su dogovorili njegovi daleki prethodnici pre 30+ godina. I u tome je problem. Trump je danas ukinuo vojnu pomoc Ukrajni. Kako on to brani Ukrajnu? Kako? Kako Trump pokusava da ispravi stvar? Ne razumem. Da li treba da posalje vojsku ili ponudi jos 100 biliona, milijardi, sta god, to ne znam, postoje ljudi koji se bave strategijama, ali onda kad je vizija jedne zemlje jasna. Nikada u istoriji nije dolazilo ni do cega dobrog kad su napustani strateski saveznici radi savezza sa dojucerasnjim neprijateljima. Obicno je dolazilo do ozbiljnih katastrofa, vrlo ozbiljnih dimenzija. Ako je to cilj Trumpu, onda je na 'dobrom putu'. Ljudi upuceni u stvari kazu da je ova odluka o zaustavljanju pomoci dosla posle vikenda intezivnih kontakta i koordinacije sa Kremljom. Pa, opet te pitam, jer ja ne razumem, kako to Trump brani Ukrajnu?

Nova porcija zaustavljanja rata za 24 sata bbc US President Donald Trump says he hasn't "talked about" suspending military aid to Ukraine following his angry exchange in the Oval Office with Volodymyr Zelensky, but "we'll see what happens". Speaking at a press conference, Trump also says Zelensky should "be more appreciative". He adds that the Ukrainian president "better not be right" that the end of the war is "very, very far away". Any agreement for peace, the president says, should be reached with Russia and Ukraine, with "assent and consent" from Europe and the US. But "maybe somebody doesn't want to make a deal", he says, and if they don't they "won't be around for very long".

Kako to Trump brani i hrani Ukrajnu? Tako sto podrzava Putina? Tako sto ponizava demokratski izabranog predsednika suverene zemlje, usput i saveznika? Tako sto odustaje od medjunarodno preuzete obaveze njegove zemlje da stiti suverenitet Ukrajne? Blokadom racuna i pomoci Ukrajni zbog kog je pala kljucna tvrdjava - Avdivka, nakon koje je Rusija okupirala najveci deo istocne Ukrajne jos od 2022? Nesporazum i dolazi zbog toga sto Trump radi sve suprotno od hrani&brani. Navodno zeli da dovede Ukrajnu i Rusiju za sto, a zapravo se njegovi pregovaraci sastaju bez Ukrajne i EU sa Rusijom. Uzasna, uzasna prevrtljivost i manipulacija cinjenicama.

Na sta konkretno mislis? Ja nisam siguran da je to neko trazio. Ako imas neki link, ostavi da pogledamo.

Gledao sam mu press u petak pred odlazak na vikend u svoju rezidenciju. Zamalo se nisam zagrcnuo koliko mi je taj press slican Psihovom. Izasao je pred novinare i poceo da melje (ne zezam se, mrtav sam ozbiljan) o tome kako USA najbolje stoji u svojoj istoriji, kako su pokazatelji perfektni i kako ima odlican osecaj da ono sto radi da ce doneti neverovatan boljitak narodu koliko sutra. Onda je osuo paljbu na one sa kojima nije nasao zajednicki jezik (Zelenski) a onda i na, pazi sad, prethodnu vlast (da ne kazem zuti), koja je, pazi opet, upropastila drzavu, ali dzaba im to, on i njegovi ortaci su sve sredili i nastupa bolje sutra, uskoro. Na kraju, voleo bi on jos da prica, ali mnogo zuri, eto, drzavnicke obaveze u Mar-a-Lago,a bas bi ostao ceo vikend u White House. Da nisam svojim ocima video, mislio bih da me neko zavitlava.

Trump posted to his Truth Social platform Sunday night.

cnn As US President Donald Trump pushes for “a deal” to end the war in Ukraine – and dresses down Ukraine’s president in front of reporters at the White House – Moscow every day keeps launching deadly attacks against Ukraine. Trump said that he was convinced after the call that the Russian leader wants to end the war. “I think he wants to stop fighting. I see that. We spoke long and hard,” the US president said. Russia has launched more than 3,000 drones and at least 35 missiles at Ukraine since the phone call according to the Ukrainian Airforce. As well as the more than 75 civilians killed, nearly 300 others, including many children, have been injured, according to a CNN count based on statements from Ukrainian officials. Among those killed in Ukraine in recent weeks was Olga Moroz, a baker born in 1968, who died when a Russian rocket hit the yard of her home in Kramatorsk. Local media quoted her friends as saying she was a hard worker who was always cheerful and was taking care of her elderly mother. A Russian missile hit a building in Kryvyi Rih, crushing 21-year-old Vladimir Pimenov. Local media said the man, a talented dancer, died in hospital. Pimenov’s girlfriend was critically injured in the strike and remains in hospital, the report said. In the town of Bilytske, in the Donetsk region, a Russian strike on a residential building killed Yevhen and Olga Buryane, young parents of two children. Local volunteers have organized a fundraiser in support of the orphans. Several Ukrainian civilians were killed on Friday, as Trump and Zelensky were preparing for and held their disastrous meeting at the White House. A civilian passenger was killed when a Russian drone hit a minibus in Kherson, according to the Ukrainian prosecutors, while two civilian men in their early 60s were killed by Russian drones cycling through the town on Lyman in eastern Ukraine. Over the weekend, at least seven more Ukrainian civilians, including a teenager, were killed in Russian attacks.

bbc Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov says in his daily press call that the military operation in Ukraine will continue until all objectives are reached. On the topic of a potential peace plan being reached with Ukraine, he says there isn't a "coordinated" or "initiated" one on the agenda yet. Speaking about growing divisions in the West, he says: We see that the collective West has started to become less collective. A fragmentation of the collective West has begun, and its positions of different countries and groups of countries are becoming more nuanced.

DW France and the UK are proposing a one-month truce "in the air, on the seas and on energy infrastructure" in Ukraine, French President Emmanuel Macron told reporters on his way to the summit. Speaking to France's Le Figaro newspaper, Macron also suggested that European countries should boost their defense spending to between 3 and 3.5% of GDP — a much higher target than the existing 2% NATO target — in light of shifting US foreign policy priorities. "For three years, the Russians have spent 10 percent of their GDP on defense," said Macron. "So we have to prepare for what's next." He also said that "there will be no European troops on Ukrainian soil in the coming weeks." The French president stressed that "we want peace," but not "at any price, without guarantees."

CBS/YouGov poll released Sunday and conducted prior to the Oval Office meeting between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday. 52% of the public say they align with Ukraine in its war with Russia, with just 4% saying they back Russia, and 44% that they support neither. Americans are largely split between saying that Trump’s actions and statements have favored Russia (46%) and that he has treated Russia and Ukraine equally (43%), with just 11% believing he has favored Ukraine. Most Republicans (56%) say they side with neither Russia or Ukraine, while 72% of Democrats call themselves pro-Ukraine. Roughly three-quarters of Americans say that what happens between Russia and Ukraine matters at least somewhat to the interests of the U.S., including majorities across partisan lines, but Democrats are more than twice as likely as Republicans (48% to 20%) to say it matters a lot. Most Americans (66%) see Russia as unfriendly or an enemy, but 41% of Republicans call it friendly or an ally, compared with 26% of Democrats who say the same. The public as a whole is split on whether the U.S. should send weapons and military aid to Ukraine - 51% say it should, 49% that it should not. Support stands at 72% among Democrats, compared with just 32% among Republicans.

Rezultati lokalnih izbora u Hamburgu. Jos nisu konacni, ali izgleda da SPD ima jos uvek dovoljno snage da zadrzi vlast. DW Germany's Social Democrats (SPD) and the Greens look set to be able to continue their coalition in the northern state of Hamburg following a regional election Sunday, a projection by public broadcaster ARD showed. Support for the SPD fell to 33.5% from 39.2% in 2020, but it remains the largest party in Hamburg. The center-right Christian Democrats (CDU) gained ground and is forecast to come in second with 19.5%. In the last state election, the CDU achieved 11.2%. The Greens, who are currently in a coalition with the SPD in Hamburg, came in third place with 17.5%. The socialist Left Party is on course to reach double digits, 11.5%, for the first time in Hamburg, according to the forecasts. The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, also gained significantly, reaching 8.5%, compared to 5.3% at the last state election. Most of the focus in Sunday's poll was on how the outgoing Chancellor Olaf Scholz's SPD would fare in Hamburg after the party suffered its worst nationwide result in federal elections last week.

bbc Starmer says that any new deal to support Ukraine must be backed by strength, and that every nation must contribute in the best way it can, by all taking responsibility and stepping up their own share. The prime minister says leaders at the summit agreed four important steps: *To keep military aid flowing into Ukraine while the war is ongoing, and increase economic pressure on Russia *Any lasting peace must ensure Ukraine's sovereignty and security, and Ukraine must be at the table for any peace talks *In the event of a peace deal, European leaders will aim to deter any future invasion by Russia into Ukraine *There would be a "coalition of the willing" to defend Ukraine and guarantee peace in the country Starmer announces that the UK government will allow Ukraine to use £1.6bn of UK export finance to buy more than five thousand air defence missiles. He says these will be made in Belfast, creating jobs in the UK's defence sector. He says the goal is to put Ukraine in the strongest position so they can negotiate from a position of strength.

DW "We urgently have to rearm Europe," European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen told reporters following the summit hosted by UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Von der Leyen said she will put forward a plan on March 6 when European leaders are set to convene for a special summit on Ukraine. She also stressed security guarantees are of the "utmost importance" for Ukraine but they need to be comprehensive.

S obzirom na njegov 'minuli rad', i u White House, a posebno u Minhenu, mislim da je on neprihvatljiva osoba za ovaj eventualni samit. Pozdravio bih i odluku kojom se njemu i Musku zabranjuje ulaz u EU i UK.

I sa ovim se slazem potpuno.

DW 'Europe must understand its strength,' Poland's Tusk says Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk stressed that Europe must believe in its power, as he headed for a summit on Ukraine held in London. "Europe has an advantage over everyone here," Tusk said, adding that with some 2.6 million professional soldiers, Europe has more troops than the US, China or Russia. He also stressed the continent's combat aircraft and artillery strength. "Today in Europe there is a deficit of imagination and courage," he said. "Europe must understand its strength." Tusk also expressed his support for an Italian proposal for a US-Europe summit. The proposal was put forth by Italian Prime Minister Giorga Meloni, to discuss how "to deal with the great challenges of today, starting with Ukraine."
