French President Emmanuel Macron hosted three-way talks with Zelensky and Trump at the Elysee Palace on Saturday, as fears grow in Kyiv about the position of the incoming US administration. Trump has openly scoffed at the billions of dollars in military assistance being sent to Ukraine and once boasted he could end the conflict in 24 hours.

"Zelenskyy (sic) and Ukraine would like to make a deal and stop the madness," Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. "There should be an immediate ceasefire and negotiations should begin. Too many lives are being so needlessly wasted, too many families destroyed, and if it keeps going, it can turn into something much bigger, and far worse."

Hours after the trio's meeting, the outgoing administration of US President Joe Biden announced a new $988-million military assistance package for Ukraine. The package features drones, ammunition for precision HIMARS rocket launchers, and equipment and spare parts for artillery systems, tanks and armoured vehicles, the Pentagon said.

I'm sure Russia will really stick to the deal this time guys for sure. We'll get them to pinky promise and everything.

Zelenskyy (sic)

For once, Trump's spelling is not wrong, that's a valid transliteration of Зеленський, it's how Wikipedia is using it. The first y stands for и and is pronounced like the i in "it", the second is the й and it is as the y in "yet".

Rare moment of sense from Trump.

Well, if it’s said by the humble billionaire Donald Trump, you know it must be 100% true!

I'm looking forward to January, 17th to wake up with news that 3 days special op ended. /s Edit: That date should probably be 21st of January I guess.
