Trump: Russia's Concession To Ukraine Is Not Taking Over The Entire Country Trump: Russia's Concession To Ukraine Is Not Taking Over The Entire Country Update(1650ET): Reporters in the White House press pool challenged President Trump over some of his latest remarks regarding Ukraine and the possibility of peace. While in the Oval Office sitting across from Norway’s prime minister Jonas Gahr Støre, Trump was asked what concessions Russia has "offered up thus far to get to the point where you’re closer to peace." He quipped somewhat sarcastically, "Stopping the war, stopping from taking the whole country" — which he called a "pretty big concession." Trump says that Russia’s concession to Ukraine is not taking over the entire country https://t.co/n6NbQArmP6 — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) https://twitter.com/atrupar/status/1915468998621229145?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw Zelensky has made clear over the last few days that he's not on board with Trump's strategy, which has featured offering recognition of Russian ownership of Crimea as a key concession. These latest words from the US President yet again illustrate that he believes Ukraine has no chance of winning the war, and that he's being a pragmatist and realist in seeking substantial concessions by Kiev. When asked about whether the US might (again) cut weapons to Kiev and intelligence-sharing, Trump responded, "Let’s see what happens; I think we’re going to make a deal; ask that question in two weeks." * * * Amid stalled US-led peace talks, Russia launched a massive overnight attack on Ukraine, including raining down ballistic missiles on the center of Kiev, unleashing large-scale death and destruction. At least nine people have been reported killed and over 70 injured in the capital city, in what was one of the largest and deadliest missile strikes on Ukraine in months. Some other cities, including Kharkiv, were also hit. https://cms.zerohedge.com/s3/files/inline-images/kyivattack.jpg?itok=mSwu96IW Anti-aircraft systems began engaging inbound missiles and drones at about 1am local time. But after drones and missiles were able to make it through, several buildings - including a factory - and a house, as well as cars, were set on fire. BBC https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cd7v0lgg18xo , "An apartment block was completely flattened during the attack and the windows of surrounding buildings were blown out and balconies ripped down." "Russia has launched a massive combined strike on Kyiv," Ukraine’s state emergency service announced on Telegram. "According to preliminary data, nine people were killed, 63 injured." President Trump early Thursday condemned the attack, saying he's "not happy" with the Russian move. "Vladimir, STOP!" he wrote on Truth Social. "5000 soldiers a week are dying. Let's get the Peace Deal DONE!" https://cms.zerohedge.com/s3/files/inline-images/trumpstrikes1.png?itok=MppVNU3n A large rescue effort has been underway given a missile head a densely populated area, with Ukraine’s interior minister, Ihor Klymenko, saying of Svyatoshinsky district of Kiev, "Mobile phones can be heard ringing under the ruins. The search will continue until everybody is got out. We have information about two children who cannot be found at the scene of the incident." Ukrainian officials have cited that some 70 missiles and up to 150 drones were used against several cities in the devastating overnight attack. BBC footage from the Russian attack in Kyiv last night. According to available information, at least 8 people were killed during the strikes in the Ukrainian capital. Ukrainian Air Force informed that Russia launched 11 Iskander-M/KN-23 ballistic missiles, 37 Kh-101… https://t.co/zucVYlpWi9 — Status-6 (Military & Conflict News) (BlueSky too) (@Archer83Able) https://twitter.com/Archer83Able/status/1915350700424392816?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw This new Thursday attack on the capital was the deadliest since last year's July 8 attack on Kiev, which left 34 people dead and 121 injured. It comes after the Zelensky government has expressed frustration that the White House should be more concerned and standing by Ukraine's side, instead of holding bilateral talks toward diplomatic normalization with Russia. The latest Trump and Zelensky back-and-forth has focused on Crimea. Trump on Wednesday slammed the Ukrainian leader for rejecting a US proposal that would see Kiev give up all claims on Crimea. Trump pointed out that Crimea "was lost years ago" and that Zelensky has "no cards to play". Zelensky then cited the 2018 "Crimea declaration" by Trump's then secretary of state Mike Pompeo, which laid out that the United States "rejects Russia's attempted annexation". Emotions have run high today. But it is good that 5 countries met to bring peace closer. Ukraine, the USA, the UK, France and Germany. The sides expressed their views and respectfully received each other’s positions. It’s important that each side was not just a participant but… https://t.co/lDFV5WK8tw — Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський (@ZelenskyyUa) https://twitter.com/ZelenskyyUa/status/1915120034487189631?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw "There is nothing to talk about. This violates our Constitution. This is our territory, the territory of the people of Ukraine," Zelensky had initially told reporters of the question of giving up Crimea permanently. But Vice President JD Vance had also articulated while traveling in India, "We’ve issued a very explicit proposal to both the Russians and the Ukrainians, and it’s time for them to either say yes or for the United States to walk away from this process." Kyiv is under Russian attack. 21 people are hospitalized, including a pregnant woman and three children. https://t.co/IQZw9TkV8I — Marta Havryshko (@HavryshkoMarta) https://twitter.com/HavryshkoMarta/status/1915195583931048024?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw He emphasized "The only way to really stop the killing is for the armies to both put down their weapons, to freeze this thing and to get on with the business of actually building a better Russia and a better Ukraine." Freezing the war now would certainly give Russian forces a huge advantage, given the immense territory in the East they now hold, and this is in large part why Zelensky is refusing such a deal. https://cms.zerohedge.com/users/tyler-durden Thu, 04/24/2025 - 16:50 https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/russia-launches-massive-missile-strike-kiev-leaving-9-dead

What Is Democratic 'Legality'? What Is Democratic 'Legality'? https://amgreatness.com/2025/04/24/what-is-democratic-legality/ Since 2021, the left has waged a veritable war against the American legal system in a variety of ways. https://cms.zerohedge.com/s3/files/inline-images/2025-04-24_10-57-23.jpg?itok=KVI5E7Z6 One serial target of Democrats and the Left has been the Supreme Court. In 2020, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) spoke to an angry throng of pro-abortion protestors assembled at the very doors of the court chambers. He threatened two of the justices, Kavanaugh and Gorsuch, by name. Schumer yelled to the volatile crowd that the justices’ views would make them “reap the whirlwind,” and the two would not know what “hit” them. In the ensuing months, protestors mobbed some of the conservative justices’ homes—likely committing felonies. The sympathetic Biden Justice Department chose not to follow the law, and so did nothing—although eventually a would-be assassin turned up. Joe Biden himself bragged that he would try to ignore the Supreme Court ruling banning his arbitrary cancellation of billions of dollars in student loans. Indeed, he boasted, “The Supreme Court blocked it, but that didn’t stop me.” In response, no one on the left ever complained about endangering the “rule of law” or Biden as “a dictator.” For three years, four local, state, and federal prosecutors warped the law to neuter Donald Trump. Most of the charges had never been brought against other political figures in similar circumstances. The vast majority of the 93 weaponized indictments backfired on the liberal prosecutors, who had contorted the legal system for political purposes and now face their own ethical or legal quagmires. The federal prosecutor Jack Smith belatedly reported accepting $140,000 in free legal services. Georgia prosecutor Fani Willis was removed from the Trump case and fined, and is now under further investigation. New York prosecutor Letitia James is now facing allegations of falsification of documents and loan fraud. Federal immigration law prohibits the illegal entry into and residence within the United States. Yet the Biden administration deliberately violated the law by allowing somewhere between 10-12 million illegal aliens to cross the border. Thousands had criminal records. No one on the left decried any of these various affronts to the legal system. In polls, by overwhelming majorities—above 70 percent—the public wants the Trump administration to close the border, begin deportations, and start with criminals or those with violent histories and gang ties. The recent deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an illegal alien from El Salvador, to the vast majority of Americans seems to fit that profile. Garcia entered the U.S. illegally and was later found consorting with members of M-13—a State Department-designated terrorist organization—who were selling drugs. Informants reported that he was a gang member. His own tattoos likely confirm those accusations. Two prior immigration judges found such evidence sufficient to allow deportation proceedings. In 2019, a third judge allowed Garcia to stay temporarily, but only on the grounds that hostile gangs might harm him should he return to El Salvador. Garcia was pulled over for speeding without a driver’s license—but with eight illegal aliens who reportedly all lived at the Garcia residence. The officer released him, despite suspicions that Garcia was engaged in human trafficking. Garcia’s live-in girlfriend, now wife, was physically assaulted by Garcia on two occasions, suffered injuries, and initially sought restraining orders against him. The left claims Garcia is a “Maryland man” without an arrest record. But he is not a U.S. citizen or a legal resident of Maryland. Instead, Garcia is in legal limbo and remains what he always was—a citizen of El Salvador with gang ties and formerly residing illegally in the U.S. Garcia is now back home on El Salvadorian soil and was mistakenly sent to a high-security prison. But his own government in El Salvador will ultimately decide how involved Garcia is or was with M-13 gangs. And then, as a sovereign nation, it will act according to its own policies about its own citizens’ associations with that terrorist organization. The left has demanded that Garcia be returned to the U.S. He has become a cause célèbre as a purported victim of the supposedly fascist Trump. Returning Garcia is seen by leftists as a performance art-act to derail the Trump agenda, which otherwise they have neither the power nor public support to thwart. The left also ignores its own hypocrisies and ironies. Those who weaponized the court system and destroyed the border now rail that Trump is acting unlawfully by not returning an illegal alien, an M-13 member, and a domestic abuser with a propensity to ignore our laws. How ironic that those who rail about colonialism now sound like 19th-century Yankee imperialists. Democrats do not own El Salvador - although they act like it when dictating to its government that El Salvador cannot detain one of its own citizens on its own soil for its own reasons. https://cms.zerohedge.com/users/tyler-durden Thu, 04/24/2025 - 16:40 https://www.zerohedge.com/political/what-democratic-legality
