Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he is prepared to meet Vladimir Putin this week, shortly after US President Donald Trump urged him to “immediately” accept the Russian leader’s offer to hold peace talks in Turkey.

After meeting in Kyiv on Saturday, Ukraine’s major European allies gave Russia an ultimatum: agree to an unconditional 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine by Monday or face “massive” new sanctions. Trump supported the initiative, Germany’s new chancellor Friedrich Merz said.

In a late-night address, Putin did not acknowledge the ultimatum. Ignoring the ceasefire offer, he instead proposed holding “direct talks” with Ukraine in Turkey on Thursday – something not seen since the early weeks of Moscow’s full-scale invasion in 2022.

Ukraine’s allies spent Sunday stressing that there could be no further talks before Putin agrees to an unconditional ceasefire. But Trump undermined the efforts to put pressure on Putin, saying that Ukraine should “immediately” agree to meet with Russian officials on Thursday.

“HAVE THE MEETING, NOW!!!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

Within an hour, Zelensky said he was prepared to meet with Putin this week, in what would be the leaders’ first meeting since Russia launched its war."

This will devastate pro-war Democrats. They do not want a peace agreement brokered by the Trump admin. The Dems had plans to fight Russian until the last Ukrainian.

Putin is going to drag his feet for as long as he can, with encouragement by the CCP.

He will come to an agreement before Trumps term is over though. China and Russia are a tag team, America better recruit the best game theorists.

Nice to have real leadership directing the world to peace instead of death

 

[Oddball]

He says it but he will still sabotage peace.

If the war ends, so does martial law, which would mean elections that he is certain to lose would occur.

That coked-up little fucking punk needs more dead Ukrainians to save his scrawny corrupt ass.

Zelensky's "peaceful" plan is simple and straightforward. It is as primitive as ancient man's tools and as transparent as a baby's tear. It consists in not signing a peace agreement, but simply suspending military operations.

What will happen next? Russia will remain under sanctions as an alleged aggressor state, and Ukraine will use the truce for active rearmament with the help of Nazi accomplice countries and wait for the right moment to start war again.↓

Now they cannot resist the Russian army, their task is to stall for time - and then the Democrats will come to power in the U.S. and will resume military aid in full.

It is clear what the interests of the Russian Federation are , what to do next is also clear, the only thing left is to make political decisions.

The Russians cannot defeat the Uki army, so we know what do now politically.

The Russians cannot defeat the Uki army, so we know what do now politically.

And the Ukrainian army can't get rid of the Russian units holding Ukrainian territory.

Do you need a dictionary as well to figure out it's a stalemate right now?

President Trump is like Captain Kirk solving the Kobayashi Maru puzzle.

Putin holds all the cards. Zelensky would actually be better off letting other countries make a Ukraine deal because they can put more pressure on Putin than Zelensky can. Putin will only only be interested in telling Zelensky the terms of Ukraine's surrender.
