🫠Feeling the SQUEEZE: Ukraine may bend to Trump’s demands

Ukraine is under “a lot of pressure” to make concessions so US President Donald Trump can claim victory in resolving the crisis, a European official told the Financial Times.

As Ukrainian officials gear up to huddle with their European and American counterparts in London to sift through the latest proposals, Ukraine is increasingly “amenable to some of the ideas floated by Trump and his team.” Senior Ukrainian officials are also reportedly keeping quiet on which ideas exactly.

Trump’s point man on Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, is expected at the current talks, but Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio have reportedly pulled out.

🎤Jen Psaki drops bombshell on MSNBC: Liberals tune in solely for Trump TAKEDOWNS

Biden’s ex-press secretary turned MSNBC talking head, Psaki admitted on “The Grill Room” podcast that her liberal network’s audience only tunes in to watch coverage of President Donald Trump that is “typically not going to be positive,” The New York Post reported.

💬 “I don’t think anybody watching expects it to be positive, right? There’s not like a North Star thing written on a card, and everybody does it slightly differently but I think that’s fairly the vibe,” she said.

Psaki, who recently secured a new primetime slot as part of a massive programming at the network, boasts a massive gaffe legacy dating back to her State Department spokesperson days, with her infamous “let me go back and check” becoming meme gold.
