WASHINGTONGrowing increasingly frustrated by the protracted diplomatic talks, President Donald Trump asserted Thursday that Russia must be allowed to keep fighting as part of any ceasefire deal.
Its time for Ukraine to come to the negotiating table and accept being attacked, said Trump, who accused Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky of acting as a barrier to peace by objecting to drone and missile strikes.
Its a shame Zelensky has been so stubborn about it. Its a fantastic deal for both sides. Any scenarios that do not allow for the Ukrainian death toll to rise is a nonstarter.
Trump added the agreement was essential for stopping the prevention of World War III.

Even though it's the Onion it does sound like something Trump would say...

Fortunately, most of the people here in the US and abroad know they're both full of shit.

I shot at my neighbor for no good reason and he shot back, then the police arranged an end to our feud, why can't I then shoot my neighbor in the back so he can't fire back? It's only fair!
I think you guys are just too uptight with your support of Ukraine.
Psst - sarcasm for those not in on the joke.
