Trump says,

The US Government is launching Alexander Vinic, a Russian cybercrime who has supposedly drank millions as part of prisoners’ exchange with Russia, according to a report of Associated PressS Vinnik runs BTC-E, one of the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world, and supposedly a crypto for Fancy Bear, the Russian group believed to have hacked the emails of the Democratic National Committee in 2016, according to The The Thehe Draft organized crime and corruption reportingS

The news of Vinic’s release came shortly before President Donald Trump announced that he had a “long and extremely productive telephone conversation” with Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the war in Ukraine. Trump’s post claims that he and Putin have discussed “Ukraine, the Middle East, energy, artificial intelligence, the power of the dollar and various other objects, while being charged with payments for Russia and a great future of” work together. “

“We also agreed to get our relevant teams to start negotiations immediately and we will start by calling President Zelenski, from Ukraine, to inform him about the conversation, something I will do right now,” Trump writes Trump WednesdayS

It is not yet clear what the President of Ukraine can give up to give up peace, but Trump claims shortly after his post to call with Putin that he spoke with the President Green, writing that “he, like President Putin, He wants to make peace. “

“We have discussed various topics related to the war, but most of all, the meeting created on Friday in Munich, where Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio will lead the delegation,” Trump writes. “I hope the results of this meeting will be positive. It is time to stop this ridiculous war where there was massive and completely unnecessary, death and destruction. God bless the people of Russia and Ukraine! “

Obviously at this point we have to take Trump’s word on the phone and no one knows how Ukraine can actually feel about a deal. And Defense Minister Pete Heget said on Wednesday that he I didn’t believe The borders of Ukraine in 2014 were a realistic goal, something that would almost certainly relate to Zelenski. In Tuesday interviewThe Ukrainian president said he was open to a possible exchange of territory with Russia in an attempt to bring peace.

Heget: “We have to start with the recognition that returning to the borders of Ukraine before 2014 is an unrealistic goal … The US does not believe that NATO membership for Ukraine is a realistic result of an agreed agreement.” pic.twitter.com/n08hawyjt1

Russia released American Mark Fogel as a prisoner on Tuesday who immediately went to the White House to praise Trump. Fogel is a school teacher who has been arrested for bringing marijuana to the country. The New York Times characterizes the release of Vinnik and Fogel as gestures of goodwill from every nation, but Trump did not recognize Vician in his social post about the truth about Putin on Wednesday.

“Millions of people were killed in a war that would not have happened if I was president, but it happened, so it should be done,” Trump writes, complete with his strange and accidental capitalization.

“No more lives should be lost!” Trump continued. “I want to thank President Putin for his time and efforts regarding this call and for the release of Mark Fogel yesterday, a wonderful man I personally welcomed last night at the White House. I believe this effort will lead to a successful conclusion, I hope soon! “

Now the non-existent cryptocurrency of Vinnik BTC-E has drunk a $ 66 million cryptocurrency every day in its peak in 2017. The Russian citizen was arrested during a holiday in Greece in the same year and was extradited to the United States to be raised to be raised accusations. Vinic pleaded guilty to money laundering last yearS
