Trump plans direct talks with Putin and Zelensky

[Almost Heaven]

U.S. President Donald Trump is preparing to hold a high-stakes in-person meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin as early as next week, according to sources familiar with the matter to The New York. Times.

Following that initial discussion, Trump reportedly intends to bring Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky into a three-way summit aimed at advancing a resolution to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict.

Trump shared his plans during a conference call with several European leaders on Wednesday. According to sources, the proposed meetings would involve only the three presidents, Trump, Putin, and Zelensky, without participation from any European counterparts. Despite efforts by European powers to coordinate peace initiatives in recent months, leaders on the call appeared to acknowledge Trump’s approach without public objection.

It would be interesting if Trump can pull this off with the 3 of them meeting. I don’t think Trump will meet with Putin unless he believes Putin wants this disastrous war to end.

It should be interesting to watch.

I am no Putin expert but I can’t imagine Putin going for this….Zelensky sitting on one side and him on the other with Trump in the middle, managing them like two squabbling children. Way too humiliating for Putin.

It’s been reported Trump and Putin will meet next Friday in Alaska. Zelenskyy will not be at this meeting.

I have a hard time seeing Putin and Zelenskyy meeting at the same time with Trump... but I guess anything is possible. It would be wonderful to see that war come to an end.

Tomorrow should be interesting when Trump and Putin meet in Alaska.

I hope Trump makes it to Alaska............ I saw him tell reporters he's meeting Putin in Russia.
A tad confused, perhaps????

If todays meeting goes well, it could lead to a second meeting which would then include Zelensky.

Brain fart - we all have them.

I did not hear Trump make that mistake. However, if every word I spoke during the day was recorded, Im sure it would catch several mistakes. Only lamestream media would make this an issue.

There are many who hope this meeting does not have any positive outcomes, and not because they dont desire the war to end, they simply dont want Trump to receive even partial credit for the war to end.

I don't expect Zelensky to give up much land, if any at all.

I don't expect Zelensky to give up much land, if any at all.

At least not willingly…… His country could soon run out of other countries money and weapons supporting his side.

We will know soon enough! Looking forward to seeing the press clips when I get back home this afternoon.

The Trump/ Putin press conference is a few minutes away. Apparently it was on hold while Trump was phoning Zelenski and European leaders.

 

[KMendel]

Any word on how the meeting went? Haven't seen any comments on it so far.
Did Trump put Putin in his place as he said he would?

 

[KMendel]

Okay..........read several accounts. Sounds like it didn't go the way Trump wanted it to.
