Ukraine's president tells reporters that despite a fractious White House meeting, he is prepared for the deal to go ahead.

Summary

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says he remains “ready to sign” a US-Ukraine minerals deal despite leaving the White House without an agreement following a contentious meeting with Trump.

Speaking in London after a European leaders’ summit, Zelensky emphasized that their fractious meeting only benefited Putin.

Refusing to discuss territorial concessions, he stated the “best security guarantees are a strong Ukrainian army.”

Responding to calls from Senator Graham that he resign, Zelensky quipped he is “exchangeable for NATO” membership, saying this would mean he had “fulfilled my mission.”

    Remember in diablo II when you had to drop the item of the floor to trade and people waited for the other one to drop the item first then steal the item? That’s geopolitics in a nutshell lol.

      That was Diablo 1. In Diablo II they had the trade window.

      And besides, you don’t just drop it right next to them! You both drop your stuff a screen apart and then walk past each other to pick it up.
