The Oval Office pre-meeting media blitz is over.
#Zelensky has officially survived the first public appearance with #Trump today.
#Russia has launched a wave of attacks on #Ukraine cities as President #Zelensky arrived in Washington for talks with #Trump. While Ukrainians & Russians continue to die on the battlefield & in major cities, Zelensky is listening to Trump air #grievances & #ConspiracyTheories about the 2020 […]
#Zelensky, when asked what #security guarantees #Ukraine needs from any peace deal, says, “Everything.”
Zelensky has repeatedly pushed for security guarantees for Ukraine to make sure that #Russia won’t just agree to a deal & then invade Ukraine again after regrouping.
#Trump said he woud […]
#Trump says, “I don’t think you need a cease-fire,” doubling down on a position he adopted only AFTER his meeting with #Putin in Alaska. #Ukraine & #Europe have demanded that a #ceasefire come before
any negotiations over permanent #peace begin.

Trump post: I've settled 6 Wars in 6 months, one of them a possible Nuclear disaster, and yet I have to read & listen to the Wall Street Journal, and many other who truly don't have a clue, tell me everything that I am doing wrong on the Russia/Ukraine MESS, that is Sleepy Joe Biden's war, not mine. I'm only here to stop it, not to prosecute it any further. It would have NEVER happened if I was President. I know exactly what I'm doing, and I don't need the advice of people who have been working on all of these conflicts for years, and were never able to do a thing to stop them. They are "STUPID" people, with no common sense, intelligence, or understanding, and they only make the current R/U disaster more difficult to FIX. Despite all of my lightweight and very jealous critics, I'll get it done — I always do!!! President DJT
Gee, #Trump seems really receptive to expert counsel 🙄 (/s)
His delusionally inflated ego is working overtime with the bullshit statement, “I’ve settled 6 Wars in 6 months”
Also, the time for placing blame on Biden for anything, passed long ago — ~7 months ago […]

#Ukraine intelligence agencies say that so far there appears to be no deviation from #Russia’s battle plans after the *summit*, according to a senior Ukrainian military official.
By the end of the summer, Ukrainian officials believe Russian forces hope to make significant advances in the […]
“Some of Ukraine’s strongest defensive positions are in #Donetsk, & ceding those defenses would position #Russia to reattack in the future from a much more advantageous position,” said David Shimer, who led #Ukraine policy on the White House #NationalSecurity Council during the #Biden admin […]
#Trump had threatened stark economic penalties if #Putin left the meeting without a deal to end the #war, but he has suspended those threats in the wake of the summit.
Trump’s moves got a chilly reception in #Europe, where leaders have time & again seen Trump reverse positions on #Ukraine after […]
Skipping #ceasefire discussions would give Russia an advantage in the talks, which are expected to continue on Monday when President Volodymyr #Zelensky of #Ukraine visits #Trump at the White House why bother?]. It breaks from a strategy Trump & #Europe #allies, as well as Zelensky, had agreed […]
Color me shocked /s
#Trump on Saturday split from #Ukraine & key #Europe #allies after his *summit* with #Putin of #Russia, backing Putin’s plan for a sweeping *peace* agreement based on Ukraine ceding unoccupied #territory to Russia, instead of the urgent #ceasefire Trump claimed he wanted […]

#Trump plans to continue this business deal approach on Friday, said a source….
#Russia operates the world's only fleet of #nuclear-powered #icebreakers, which play a central role in maintaining year-round #shipping access along the #NorthernSeaRoute, a strategic path for global #energy & […]
Unbelievable, he’ll #sanction #India for buying Russian #oil, but #Trump is considering buying their #icebreakers!
The #US had internal discussions on aiming for a deal during the summit on Russian #nuclear-powered icebreaker vessels to use in #gas & #LNG projects in #Alaska, 3 sources told […]
BFFs
#Trump & #Putin greeted each other like old friends on Friday; to say their reception was warm would almost be an understatement.
The 2 men shook hands & touched each other on the arm in a show of apparent affection.
Putin, who arrived on US soil at Trump's […]
