BREAKING: Ukraine's President Zelensky says President Trump is trying to "pressure Ukraine into surrendering to Russia," per Bloomberg.

Zelensky says the US has deliberately slowed Starlink internet speeds in Ukraine while delaying deliveries of Patriot interceptors for ballistic missiles.

The statement comes a day after the Trump Administration said they had not slowed Starlink internet speeds in Ukraine.

"I believe steps have been taken to convince Ukraine to capitulate," Zelensky said.

US "Here is Starlink, a powerful military technology. We'll give it to you for free and block Russia. Just please don't use it to strike Russian mainland targets. They have, you know, nuclear warheads and stuff, thanks".

Zelensky: Uses it to strike mainland targets.

US "Zel, see above. Also, btw, you may not have noticed, but we have a global oil/energy crisis atm, so can you please, you know, not use Starlink to hit Russian refineries and make things worse, esp with the midterms coming up. Ty".

Zelensky, "nah, I think I will, and especially because the midterms are coming up. Go frick yourself Trump".

US, ok let's throttle their mainland access so they can't launch offensive strikes.

Zelensky: "Omg I can't understand why the US would possibly do this. The US seems to support the other side."

Trump is helping an enemy of the US. Make it 3 enemies of the US and we’re even fighting 1 of those enemies. What a disgrace.

I'm sorry, what exactly did Trump do when Putin broke the agreement and kept hitting Ukraine's power grid?

“If you refuse, we’ll survive and keep defending ourselves with or without it”

Ok, so no need for us then. Bye bye

Why is not supporting Ukraine “helping an enemy”?

Ukraine is not an ally

Because surviving is not the goal. Ousting Russia from their land and returning to normalcy is the goal.

1. Why is Russia our enemy? Since the Cold War ended, what has Russia done to remain an enemy?

2. Why is the war any concern of ours at all? Ukraine is not an ally. There is zero benefit to us protecting Ukraine. Let Europe, who does have a vested interest in keeping Ukraine around. Handle it.

Neither Ukraine nor Russia is an "ally." They're both the same level of "enemy" to us.

Ukraine may not be an “ally”, but Russia is an enemy. They literally prop up and keep all of our other major enemies afloat. Who do you think was giving Iran ballistic missile technology, and giving them routes to developing nuclear weapons?

Normalcy? Modern Ukraine didn't exist until 1991.

Anyway, why is it our war to fund through taxes and also suffer the consequences of Zelensky destroying the diesel markets? Why should you or I, as an average American, care?

I would rather have my money back and cheap diesel than care about Ukraine getting some territory back.

Russia is mostly white, conservative, and Christian. On paper, they are more of a natural ally than any other country on earth right now.

Sure it is. The goal is to protect the global slush fund that is the Ukraine. Any place that hires a crackhead like Hunter Biden to oversee an industry zero experience in is not a real country. It’s nothing more than a front for politicians to set up relatives in positions to skim off the top of billions in foreign aid. frick Ukraine and anyone who supports this bullshite

I mean, besides trying to undermine the system lead by the US, propping up and financially supporting all of our major enemies (Iran, North Korea, China), I guess I’m not sure…
