Trump Urges Putin To ‘Spare The Lives’ Of Ukrainian Troops Surrounded In Kursk

President Trump has revealed Friday that he has held the second phone call of his current administration with Russian President Vladimir Putin on the prospect of ending the Ukraine war. The call, held Thursday, included a plea by Trump for Russia to spare the lives of Ukrainian soldiers currently surrounded in the Kursk region. Such a direct appeal like this by Trump is unprecedented.

“We had very good and productive discussions with President Vladimir Putin of Russia yesterday” – Trump began a statement on Truth Social, before continuing, “and there is a very good chance that this horrible, bloody war can finally come to an end…”

That’s when he stated in all caps, “But, at this very moment, thousands of Ukrainian troops are completely surrounded by the Russian military, and in a very bad and vulnerable position.” 

“I have strongly requested to President Putin that their lives be spared. This would be a horrible massacre, one not seen since World War II. God bless them all!!!” – Trump ended with.

Aside from the rare or even unprecedented nature of such a direct appeal from a sitting US President for Putin to spare the lives of Ukrainian soldiers, this a first top-level US acknowledgement that Ukraine is rapidly losing in its cross-border Kursk operation.

Already as of Wednesday there were widespread reports that a Ukrainian withdrawal from Kursk is underway, and it’s been confirmed that the key town of Sudzha has been taken back by Russian forces, along with well over a dozen towns and settlements in rapid fashion.

The amount of Russian territory the Ukrainians still hold there has suddenly shrunk at least four-fold, and by many accounts Russian operatives continue closing in. Even the Financial Times has admitted that the writing is on the wall:

Kyiv’s forces managed at one point to seize some 1,300 sq km of Russian territory. But over the first few weeks the area they were able to hold became a narrow wedge.

“It is no secret that the zone of our incursion, it should have been wider,” Kariakin said. “A wide area along the border would have been much more comfortable.” Instead, Russian troops surrounded Ukraine’s occupying forces on three sides. It was a precarious position and became increasingly difficult to hold.

War analysts consider it highly debatable and uncertain whether the risky cross-border gambit which started in August actually translated to any strategic advantage across the broader war theater:

For Andriy Zagorodnyuk, a former defense minister of Ukraine, the Kursk operation “served its purpose”: it diverted elite Russian forces and prevented them from opening up another front, he said. Others question whether the benefits outweighed costs to Ukraine’s defense effort on the eastern front.

The tragic ‘cost’ has been tens of thousands of Ukrainian troops lost to an operation which had little to no chance of success in the first place. 

“High chance” of peace, Trump said…

Sending masses of troops to invade and occupy Russian territory was essentially a suicide operation to begin with, for which Zelensky has come under intense internal and international criticism. Kiev has had to take more extreme measures to round up men to send to the front lines of late, and there have been reports of a lot of resistance and conscription officers roam the streets.

Mass Cases Of EDS Reported All Over The World…

Mass Cases Of EDS Reported All Over The World…

Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity.news,

A new global pandemic has taken hold with mass cases of Elon Derangement Syndrome breaking out all over the globe.

Yesterday we reported on Greg, a guy who bought a Tesla just to smash it up with an axe.

Shut up Greg.

Symptoms of the disease previously seen in the U.S., including hysterical frothing, weird public tantrums and calling everyone who you disagree with a Nazi, have now also been reported in London.

These billboards and ads are popping up everywhere across the city in a coordinated effort to smear Musk for merely being associated with President Trump.

British libel laws are quite stringent.

The children running this ‘campaign’ likely have not considered the potential consequences of publicly associating at least two global brands, as well as Musk himself, with fascism.

The billboards have been traced to a group calling itself ‘Overthrow Musk’.

They might be well funded but they can’t spell ‘surprise’. What a suprise.

Ironically, they have an X account.

They’re also actively placing these things on Tesla dealerships in London.

The “dark money” group is operating as a non-profit organisation, meaning funding sources are not publicly disclosed.

Videos of posters being put up on the London Underground have been uploaded on TikTok by a group called ‘Everybody Hates Elon.’

It is unclear whether the two groups are affiliated. The billboards look like they’ve been paid for and sanctioned, while the tube posters just seem to be being placed by opportunists.

We’ll soon find out though, the media is on it…

More cases of EDS were witnessed at a Tesla showroom in the UK where eco-loons with Just Stop Oil poured orange latex over an Optimus robot and accused Musk of being a ‘fascist.’

Geniuses. Targeting an electric vehicle company while banging on about fossil fuels and climate change… and fascism or something.

EDS is also quickly spreading throughout Europe:

Meanwhile, back in the U.S., deranged leftists are going beyond nasty posters, shooting up and firebombing Tesla dealerships.

But MSNBC will tell you that shooting at people is just peaceful protest.

President Trump has described the perpetrators as ‘domestic terrorists.’

Last month, posters clearly intimating that violence should be carried out against Musk were also seen in Washington D.C.

All of this is just making more people who are not bat shit crazy want to buy Teslas.
