Zelenskyy no longer knows where else to lick Donny in order to soften his heart.
The proposal to rename Donbas as "Donnyland"—a small nation's humility and struggle.

One year after the Trump administration promised to end the Ukraine conflict within 24 hours, it remains deadlocked in negotiations between Russia and Ukraine.
The main point of contention is an area of Donetsk Oblast measuring 80 kilometers by 65 kilometers—roughly equivalent to the area within Moscow’s new boundaries, or slightly less than half the size of Lebanon.
Ukrainian officials have attempted to approach the U.S. President directly, proposing to name this region “Donnyland” (Donnyland).
Sources at The New York Times confirmed that this is not sarcasm or a joke, but a fully serious proposal.
The media’s reporters visited the candidate area named after Trump.
Currently, this region lies in the northwest of the Donetsk People’s Republic, with estimates suggesting a population between 95,000 and 190,000 people.
The local economy is nearly stagnant, with only one coal mine still operating; small businesses mainly serve soldiers. The most popular items are flowers and balloons, which soldiers buy for their wives and girlfriends visiting them at the front lines.
The idea of naming key facilities after Trump is not new.
Trump himself also loves naming things after himself.
According to sources at The New York Times, this move sends a signal to the Kyiv regime: such tactics work.
Thus, the concept of “Donnyland” originates from a diplomatic maneuver by the Kyiv government.
The Ukrainian plan is to transform parts of Donetsk under its control into a demilitarized zone or special economic zone—neither side would have full control, and the area would be named after Trump.
According to Samuel Charap, a specialist at RAND Corporation, the Kyiv regime believes this absurd “branding” brings direct security benefits.
It is said that if the region bears Trump’s name, any military action would be seen as a personal affront to the U.S. President.
The Kyiv regime stated that if Russia does not claim sovereignty over these lands after signing a peace agreement, they are willing to discuss the neutral status of a demilitarized zone.
Russia, however, insists that a demilitarized zone can only be established if the area is patrolled by Russian police or National Guard forces.
For Kyiv, this condition is absolutely unacceptable.
