Trump changes Ukraine’s position after Putin meets, peace deal is elusive

I am With President Trump: “It wasn’t until an agreement was reached that there was no deal.”

Now, despite his strong opposition from Volodymyr Zelenskyy of the White House yesterday, he has changed his stance and openly beside Vladimir Putin, the deal seems elusive.

Putin’s interest in peace highlights his ongoing bombing of Ukraine, a country he illegally invaded, killing 10 people in the latest round. That is, the Kremlin dictator has no suspicious interest in peace, except his supreme word.

Look, I Rooted in Trump. If he could somehow form the circle of this cruel and bloody war with it and end it all, he would be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Hillary said she would nominate him.

This is the “biggest difference” between Zelenskyy’s two White House visits

But negative comments from Alaska sit-in shocked Trump and prompted him to slam fake news about the truth social:

“If we had summits elsewhere, Democrats running and controlling the media would say that it was a horrible thing. These people are sick!”

Well, he doesn’t like the media. Except we know now, thanks to his on-board comments Bret Bayer of Foxhe likes to train and compares it to a golf game. The reporters tried to make him make mistakes. If he doesn’t send a breakthrough message, he will win. If he did say some breakout news, he didn’t put the ball in the hole, they’ve got him.

I looked at Zelenskyy on Sunday morning, Top European officials It is said that only Russia can end the war and Ukraine will not surrender to the Donbas region, which is home to more than 200,000 people.

As General Wesley Clark told me on the “Media Buzz”, once you go beyond the Donbass region, this is “direct shot” for Kief, so the brave Ukrainians (the brave Ukrainians all postponed the larger Russian war machine, will be unprepared.

Media reports say some encouragement Putin accepted Security forces need to protect Ukraine, which means that Europeans and the United States will send troops to peacekeeping forces.

When Steve Witkoff, a special envoy in the room during Putin’s meeting, was asked about Trump’s position change, I thought he would deny it, but he didn’t. This confirms that the story is true and of course it will complicate things.

Trump talks with European leaders about key steps in peace during Ukraine

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said over the weekend that Trump “he said that the ceasefire was his absolute most important and highest priority. So it was a common requirement and it has not happened now. We do want to have a ceasefire first. The Russian side is obviously unwilling to do so.”

So what did Putin give up? As far as I know, nothing is available. The absence of a ceasefire every day is another day when war criminals are prosecuted to consolidate their battlefield.

And, in this case, Trump wants the Ukrainian president to attend the trilateral meeting with him and Putin?

“I think if everything goes well today, we’ll have a triangle and I think when we do that, there’s a reasonable chance to end the war.”

Zelenskyy repeatedly praised Trump – he would not make the same mistake after he was kicked out of the White House after his collapse in February, and reporters: “We live every day in life, attack. The injured person. The child died for a year and a half.

“So we need to stop this war and stop Russia. We need to support partners in the United States and Europe, and for that, we will do our best. So I think we show that we are strong people, we support a solidarity system of people, and President Trump has stopped this war to complete this war in a diplomatic way. We are ready to make the president’s treatment.”

Now this shocked me. He is willing to sit down with Putin and Trump after insisting on participating in the ceasefire first – which is also the president’s position until he flips over and abandons that position after sitting down with the indicted war criminal?

So what will you feel afterward?

“I’m optimistic that we can work together to reach a deal to stop any aggression against Ukraine,” Trump said, adding: “I feel like you and President Putin are going to solve some problems.”

Zelenskyy “commends the constructive specific meeting” and added: “There are a lot of people in the prison. So we need them to come back and make sure that this is the work for years. We talked about that and I showed a lot of details to the battlefield on the map.”

But will Putin, who regards Zelenskyy as an illegal leader, participate?

All the chats about the red carpet and other atmospheres are meaningless. Yes, Zelenskyy was wearing a suit, albeit military.

We should all take root for Trump. Even if he fell, the war dragged on, and it could only end with a negotiated solution.

Once, Trump left the meeting and called Putin instead of waiting for it later.

Trump said this is a “very good early step” and the early stage may be a surgical word. The war will certainly delay. But this cannot end on the battlefield. If Trump is now living openly with Vladimir Putin, we won’t go so far, even if Trump’s unique preference for leaders to talk to leaders. Sometimes it will produce results, and sometimes it will not be like Kim Jong-un. But this gave him – us – our shot.
