President Zelenskyy: Of course.
Q: Do you think that Witkoff and Kushner trust Putin?
President Zelenskyy: Putin knows what to do. He's from the KGB, so he knows how to do it, how to speak.

What needs to be done?
At a minimum, the EU countries and Ukraine urgently need to develop a joint mechanism for intercepting Russian drones together along the border, including over Ukrainian territory, and establish a safe zone.
A joint mechanism for protecting the border region is needed.

So the ‘negotiation’ involves blowing smoke up Putin’s arse, asking him what he wants then attacking Ukraine for refusing to concede it. Never forget the huge swathe of UK media & political figures who celebrated Trump’s ascent while claiming to care about Ukraine. Absolute heels, the lot of them.
Kushner on Ukraine:
“President Putin's laid out his line of what he wants to achieve. If Ukraine, you know, wanted to withdraw to that line, then obviously, you know, we have the rest of the deal set up and put together. Ukraine right now does not want to do that.”

Reform has already enjoyed several years of support from a loss-making TV channel whose main function seems to be to give money and favourable coverage to its MPs. The government has done nothing about this. It's probably a more effective way of spending millions than Farage will manage.

That's £72 million from just two men. (Both, until lately, based overseas).

Harborne has given Reform £36 million to match Delo's £36 million. The Telegraph describes it as a "show of force" from Reform's donors.
The two men's £72 million is greater than all of the spending by all political parties on the 2024 GE
