WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump dropped a bombshell Thursday, roaring from the Oval Office that Russia’s “easier to deal with” than Ukraine as he scrambles to broker a peace deal in Europe’s deadliest war since 1945. With Putin pounding Ukraine “harder than ever” after a U.S. aid cutoff, Trump’s blunt pivot—calling Kyiv the tougher nut to crack—has sparked outrage and fear as Bangladesh burns (QuickPost News, March 7) and global chaos looms.
Trump Ukraine Peace Deal 2025: Russia’s the Easy Bet
Speaking to reporters, Trump didn’t mince words: “Russia’s bombing the hell out of Ukraine—I told them they can’t do that—but in terms of a final settlement, it may be easier dealing with Russia.” Hours after Ukraine debuted French Mirage jets to fend off Moscow’s latest barrage (BBC News, March 6), Trump’s siding with Putin’s leverage—Russia holds 20% of Ukraine’s land—hints at a deal favoring Moscow. “Trump Ukraine peace deal 2025” is blazing across X as Kyiv reels.
Russia Easier to Deal With: Ukraine’s the Holdout
Trump’s frustration boiled over: “I’m finding it more difficult to deal with Ukraine—they don’t want to settle.” With Zelenskyy demanding NATO-grade security and Putin rejecting Western troops, the rift’s glaring. “Putin wants it ended—I think Ukraine does too, but I’m not sure,” Trump growled, warning of “World War Three” if talks stall (NBC News, Feb 27). As Bangladesh’s police crush Hizb ut-Tahrir (QuickPost News, March 7), Trump’s betting on Moscow’s muscle over Kyiv’s defiance.
Ukraine Russia Negotiations: A Deal or a Disaster?
Russia’s hammering Ukraine post-aid freeze—2,000 dead this week, Trump claimed—while Zelenskyy’s “disinformation” jabs at Trump (Reuters, March 5) fuel the fire. “He’s got to say ‘I want peace,’ not ‘Putin this, Putin that,’” Trump snapped, eyeing a minerals deal as leverage (ABC News, Feb 28). X erupts: “Trump’s handing Ukraine to Russia—Kyiv’s screwed.” With U.S. tariffs on Russia looming, is this peace or surrender?
What’s Next: Capitulation or Collapse?
Adviser Mike Waltz insists talks with Russia and Ukraine—set for Saudi Arabia next week—will “get back on track” (BBC News, March 6). But with Putin’s bombs raining and Bangladesh’s unrest as a grim echo, Trump’s Russia-first gamble could torch Ukraine’s hopes—or spark a global inferno. “Russia easier to deal with” headlines scream warning—QuickPost News tracks this powder keg live.
