Trump’s Explosive Putin Summit: Will He Hand Over Ukraine’s Minerals to End the War?

As President Trump prepares for a high-stakes summit with Vladimir Putin, Secretary of State Marco Rubio pushes for normalized U.S.-Russia relations and a deal to end the Ukraine war. With Zelenskyy’s leadership faltering, Ukrainian troops depleted, and a controversial UK-Ukraine 100-year partnership, European allies scramble to counter Trump’s moves. Explore how Putin’s backing from Iran and North Korea, Russia’s destruction of Ukraine’s missile program, and Trump’s “Day One” war-ending promise shape this critical moment. Learn why Zelenskyy’s frantic EU and UK visits signal desperation to sabotage the summit and secure his own future

Marco and his teams have been meeting with Russia to normalize relationships. Is Trump about to come out and tell the American people everything? Trump will not get rolled in this meeting. Trump was telling Zelenskyy that they know what they did and he didn’t have the cards. Trump is telling the world that Russia won the war. We have seen the maps where Ukrainian troops made advances. Ukraine doesn’t have people to fight. Zelensky's people and parliament want him out. The war is over. Zelensky is desperate to sabotage the Trump-Putin summit, there is no future for him going forward.
A call from President Trump ignited a frantic week of diplomacy by Ukraine. Meeting with the EU then running to the UK.
Russia derails Ukraine’s western-backed missile program. Russia has taken out the Ukrainian missile program that was provided by the EU.
Trump offered Putin minerals for peace. Putin keeps saying and you are getting the minerals why? Donald Trump is preparing to offer Putin access to rare earth minerals to incentivise him to end the war in Ukraine. Trump proposals include giving Putin access to the rare earth minerals in the Ukrainian territories currently occupied by Russia. Putin is saying he won, does he need to roll right into Kyiv? Putin wants to root out the Nazis, the corruption and the dirty parliament and allow Ukraine to be a sovereign country.
Why did Zelensky meet with EU and then rush to #10 Downing Street the day before the Trump-Putin summit? The Ukrainian people are no longer fighting this war, this is Zelenskyy’s war. You keep hearing that Ukraine needs security guarantees. This is not up to Trump to tell Putin what to do. Putin has the backing of Iran, North Korea. Our media is trying to keep this war alive. Not that Russia will face any consequences.
In the demilitarized zone there are loud speakers to irritate the other side. North Korea denies loudspeaker removal but says Trump-Kim meeting is possible.
Remember Trump said that Russia has taken some of the best ocean front property.
There are talks about putting nukes back in Ukraine. Ukraine voluntarily gave up its nuclear weapons after the collapse of the Soviet Union. In 1994 Ukraine signed the Budapest Memorandum, agreeing to transfer all remaining nuclear warheads to Russia in exchange for security assurances from the US, UK and Russia. This agreement led to Ukraine becoming a non-nuclear weapons state party to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. The original purpose of NATO, established in 1949, was to provide collective security, you keep hearing security agreements, for its members against the Soviet Union and its sphere of influence. When the Soviet Union broke up. European countries that were formerly part of the Soviet Union joined NATO at the end of the Cold War, despite Russia viewing such expansion as contrary to the spirit of the agreements made during Germany’s reunification in the early 1990s. There was no formal treaty explicitly prohibiting NATO expansion eastward, since western officials did provide assurances to Soviet leaders that NATO jurisdiction would not expand beyond East Germany. After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, Ukraine inherited the world’s third largest nuclear arsenal, estimated to include approximately 1900 strategic nuclear warheads and thousands of tactical nuclear weapons. These weapons were eventually transferred to Russia under the Budapest Memorandum in exchange for security assurances from Russia, US and UK.
They will lie to you about tomorrow. Russia wants to know why they are negotiating an unconditional surrender. The best that Trump can do tomorrow is that Zelensky continues to live.
Trump promised to end the war on Day One of his second term. Zelensky meets Starmer in the UK this morning. This is after the EU meeting. They knew that Trump would not come in to allow the UK and Ukraine 100 year partnership. They didn’t know what Trump was going to do and they were worried about it and 4 days before Trump took office they signed the partnership. Did they hide this from Trump’s foreign policy team? This was the reason that Trump could not make the moves that he promised on day one. The treaty will bolster military collaboration on maritime security through a new framework to strengthen the ocean front property area. The 100 year partnership is a major step in supporting Ukraine’s long-term security –ensuring they are never again vulnerable to the kind of brutality inflicted on it by Russia - and committing to stand shoulder to shoulder with a sovereign Ukraine for the next century.
The UK and Ukraine signed the 100 year partnership agreement on January 16, 2025. The agreement was signed amidst concerns among European allies about potential shifts in US policy towards Ukraine under the incoming Trump administration. Trump stated that he wants to see the war end quickly and believes that Europe should be responsible for Ukraine’s security. Trump did not commit to providing US security guarantees for Ukraine and was focused on a deal that would grant US companies access to Ukrainian mineral resources.
They signed this to put a stop to Trump and pull America into a war.
Putin is showing up tomorrow. Russia does not have to stop. Zelensky is not concerned about sovereignty or giving up the land. He is concerned about himself. UK cannot follow through with their 100 year deal with Zelenesky because he didn’t win. The only way for Ukraine to be a sovereign country is for you to put boots on the ground and fight Russia because Ukraine doesn’t have any more troops, people.
May the best come out of this meeting between Trump and Putin for the American people and the people of Ukraine.
