What do they mean "creating"? They ain't gotta create anything! Just rename the area around Chernobyl that¹ and I'm sure Taco Don will be ecstatic!

  1. Only when referring to and talking with regards to the US.

This is fucking nauseating. The only think Trump deserves is a bullet, not an enclave.

Disgusting.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York%2C_Ukraine

New York or Niu-York[a] is a rural settlement in Bakhmut Raion, Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine.

Despite this, Russian forces were able to capture New York by the end of September.

The headlines get progressively more surreal.

As I said before, though, I think that Russia aiding Iran probably has more potential here from Ukraine's standpoint.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russia_in_the_2026_Iran_war

Russia's role in the war focused on intelligence sharing and logistical aid, avoiding direct combat to prevent straining its resources amid the Ukraine conflict. U.S. officials reported that Moscow supplied Iran with real-time data on American warships and aircraft, enabling more precise retaliatory strikes.[2] This assistance included satellite feeds from Russian assets, which helped Iran monitor U.S. movements in the Middle East.[3]

If Iran had, shortly thereafter, successfully dropped an anti-ship missile on a US carrier, I expect that that'd be excellent news for Ukraine.

Omg that's brilliant.

Even more brilliant, write a huge article about it, but it's all AI images.

That's how you make a billion dollars with a < $100,000 budget.

Trying to pacify taco baby trump is a bad look

It is, but Ukraine is still depends on a lot of US military hardware for a lot of important systems that help them hold the line as they’re being invaded by Russia… so this is actually the lesser of two evils. I see it as an insincere theatrical move that orangeboi likes because it’s a thing that paints him in a “flattering” light, despite it being obviously insincere.
