I wonder why Ukraine doesn't want to reward Russia for invading their country.

Trump is saying he still hasn't walked away? It's been nearly 6 months since election day, and Trump still hasn't solved this. What a loser. Half a year of Trump failing.

The man is a bully and a liar so I usually don’t pay that much attention to what ever raving he’s on about.

It was stupid Republicans who wouldn't send enough aid to Ukraine to outright beat Russia years ago.

Meanwhile, this dumbass is angry because he can't easily steal the land of other sovereign nations...
Let's call it as it is: He's helping Putin. He's mad on behalf of Putin.

Under Trump in 2018...
"Russia, through its 2014 invasion of Ukraine and its attempted annexation of Crimea, sought to undermine a bedrock international principle shared by democratic states: that no country can change the borders of another by force. The states of the world, including Russia, agreed to this principle in the United Nations Charter, pledging to refrain from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state. This fundamental principle — which was reaffirmed in the Helsinki Final Act — constitutes one of the foundations upon which our shared security and safety rests.
As we did in the Welles Declaration in 1940, the United States reaffirms as policy its refusal to recognize the Kremlin’s claims of sovereignty over territory seized by force in contravention of international law. In concert with allies, partners, and the international community, the United States rejects Russia’s attempted annexation of Crimea and pledges to maintain this policy until Ukraine’s territorial integrity is restored.
The United States calls on Russia to respect the principles to which it has long claimed to adhere and to end its occupation of Crimea. As democratic states seek to build a free, just, and prosperous world, we must uphold our commitment to the international principle of sovereign equality and respect the territorial integrity of other states. Through its actions, Russia has acted in a manner unworthy of a great nation and has chosen to isolate itself from the international community.
Michael R. Pompeo, Secretary of State
Washington, DC

Note, for context on the revocation of the security detail:
That is, I don't think that Pompeo has much pull anymore.

Dear Mr Felon, this isn't a game and you also don't have any cards. Have you say thank you to your partner Putin?

All of these efforts to bring peace to Ukraine sadly reminds me of the US's retreat from Afghanistan.
