Zelenskyy tonight calls what Trump earlier today claimed to be an agreement a “proposal”, confirming our @FT reporting that there is so far no deal between Ukraine and Russia — “There is currently a strong proposal from the United States regarding a mutual cessation of strikes on critical infrastructure. And if this can become the first de-escalation step – a step to stop Russian strikes on our critical infrastructure and our retaliatory strikes – then Ukraine is ready to support de-escalation.” Zelenskyy continued in his evening address: “We see that the Russians are feeling tension due to our precision strikes on the Russian war economy. And so far, no one has seen a genuine desire from Russia to move towards ending the war. But if American partners manage to ensure Russia's real readiness to stop this war of annihilation and do so truthfully and in the long term, Ukraine will take its de-escalation steps.” He added: “We are waiting for specifics from our partners.”

Our report:
NEW: Trump got out in front of his skis when he announced Kyiv and Moscow had agreed to halt strikes on each other's energy facilities, appearing to announce a deal that caught Ukrainian officials off guard in the absence of credible Russian guarantees. ft.com/content/d6f98d2e-9f0c…

While playing golf and offering to lower tariffs on Irish whiskey, Trump accuses Ukraine of causing high diesel prices. In 2028, Trump should return to the hotel business.

At the rate gasoline and diesel prices are rising, it will soon be cheaper to fill up with whiskey. But Ukraine, not Iran, is to blame.

There's the key word. "Specifics". Unfortunaltely, specifics more than likely will not align with Ukraine's need for Russia to GTF outta town, so Trump will say Zelensky broke the "agreement".

The Russians aren’t paying for the presidents son’s wedding to not get what they want out of Ukraine.

Zelensky has been proposing an energy ceasefire for a long time. It would have been a good idea to have negotiated that before attacking Iran.

Russia, China, Iran, BRICS are watching USA collapse. Saudi Arabia is now cornered by SHIA and will abandon USA with Gulf States isolating Israel. Removing Russian hydrocarbons from western users is the best outcome - FOR RUSSIA. AFD might buy gas again though.

Зеленський ворог України і народу України! Брехун!!
🚨THE LITTLE CLOWN WHO DESTROYED UKRAINE April 19th, 2019. A fresh-faced Zelensky does his best to pretend he is not a drug-addicted back-stabbing psycho, three days before winning the Ukrainian presidential election of 2019. We all know how it went. By the way, just in case you're wondering - he's speaking Russian.
