Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyy have sat down for a face-to-face talk in the opulent halls of a Vatican basilica to discuss a possible ceasefire, after which the US president accused his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, of not wanting to “stop the war”.

The White House described Trump’s meeting with the Ukrainian leader before Pope Francis’s funeral as “very productive”, while Zelenskyy said on X that the talk with the US president was symbolic and had the “potential to become historic, if we achieve joint results”.

It was the first time that Zelenskyy and Trump had met face to face after a frosty February encounter in the White House where Trump and the US vice-president, JD Vance, berated the Ukrainian leader and accused him of ingratitude for US aid.

Trump is such a fucking idiot. Don't waste your time thinking about this.

I'm an American, and I want my taxes going to Ukraine. This fucking asshole removed those. Fuck him. Fuck. Him.

Remember to ask FSB to refill your chatgpt credits so you can at least spill longer strings of garbage. And Putin's government is a fascist regime.

Enjoy your fascist banana republic on its way down the shitter.
The fascist-lite site deserve it too. And I'm having great fun watching it and seeing you all squirm.

Yeah, I'd much rather Ukraine than Israel. It's so much cheaper to let Ukraine whittle Russia down than deal with Russia directly. Let's give them whatever support they ask for until Russia hopefully collapses.

A meeting of losers has no say in when a war is over or on what conditions.

The 2 cry babies constantly thinking they can make demands and being annoying constantly.
Both leaders of a fascist shithole that is circling the drain.
So much in common, they should be besties!

Yea me too. Maybe it's as he didn't have any cronies to interrupt the discussion so they can keep him on their option.

I'm not particularly old, late 20's. But in Sweden we use proverbs pretty frequently

He's just making it look like he's objective after being cornered into a meeting he didn't really want.

Translation: Not all of your base is ready to abandon Ukraine yet so give some lip service about Russia.

[-] runner_g 7 points 3 days ago

My conspiracy theory: Trump is dying. He no longerer fears the Russian Kompromat, and believes a change of heart to support Ukraine will be better for his legacy.

Don’t get our hopes up but The party when this pos dies is going to be epic
