After sucking Putin, but not getting anything, Trump meets Zelenskyy and the allies

Washington – two hundred and ten days after the day, said that the brutal invasion of Ukraine in Russia would end, President Donald Trump did not do it again on Monday, only this time in the company of the leader of Ukraine and seven of his main European allies.

“I think President Putin also wants to find an answer, and we’ll see. And in a certain period of time, not far from now of its health care plans or infrastructure, and once it has provided multiple times for the time you never know if it is known if it is known that Russian is known. He took the end of his war seriously.

What happens next is not clear. Trump again raised the idea that Zelenskyy, Putin and himself met, but there are no indications that Putin is interested in stopping his invasion strength or his night attacks of drones and missiles against civil objectives.

Putin’s condition to do so is that Ukraine gives him the land in the eastern part of the country that he has not been able to force for three and a half years.

At a press conference after the White House meeting, Zelenskyy said that Russia had agreed a meeting between him and Putin, while German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said that, in fact, he hopes he takes place in the next two weeks.

Trump’s comments reached at the beginning of a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the heads of the European Union, NATO and five nations separated from Western Europe.

The improvised defense summit joined a few days after Trump’s Friday meeting with Putin, which ended without any apparent progress and certainly without the high fire that Trump had said he would insist.

Shortly after, it was announced that Zelenskyy would come to Washington to meet Trump on Monday, possibly to avoid Putin’s explanation and justification for his invasion of having roots in Trump’s mind and becoming his.

The last time Zelenskyy visited the White House in February, both Trump and Vice President JD Vance attacked and insulted him, a treatment that was seen with horror in the European capitals. Within two days of the announcement of Zelenskyy’s meeting, Merz, NATO general secretary, Mark Rutte, Finnish President Alexander Stubb, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French president Emmanuel Macron and the president of the European Commission Ursula Von Leyen announced that they would attend the way.

“I am very grateful to all the leaders who are here, and you help a lot,” Zelenskyy said at the beginning of the group meeting with Trump on Monday afternoon.

Rutte, who praised Trump repeatedly at the June NATO summit in The Hague as part of a general strategy of European leaders to flatter him to win it, continued on Monday. “I really want to thank you, president of the United States, dear Donald, because of the fact that you, as I said before, broke the point of death basically with President Putin at the beginning of that dialogue,” Routte said.

Trump, on the other hand, continued to affirm that Putin likes and respects him, despite all the evidence otherwise. “I think he wants to make a deal for me,” he told others while waiting for the press pool to be escorted to the east room.

His comment was captured by a microphone that, obviously, did not know, already lived.

Why Trump believes that, if he really does, it is not evident.

Trump essentially took the side of Russia in his invasion of his neighbor during his first months in office after calling Putin “intelligent” and a “genius” in the days after war in February 2022. In recent months, Trump has said that he has exasperated by the continuous attacks of Putin in Ukrainian civilians. But although he has talked about holding Putin for the killing, so far, he has done little or nothing to achieve that.

A deadline of August 8 for Putin to declare the fire or face more economic sanctions and left without actions. Trump agreed to meet Putin in Alaska and literally extended the red carpet to greet him.

Trump again said before that meeting that Putin would face a penalty if he refused to end his night attacks against Ukrainian civilians and his continuous invasion.

“There will be very severe consequences,” said Wednesday during a visit to the Kennedy center.

On the flight to Alaska, Trump said the goal of the trip was to obtain a high fire. “I want to see a stop quickly. I don’t know if it’s going to be today, but I’m not going to be happy if it’s not today,” journalists told Air Force One.

However, all that talk evaporated after meeting his benefactor in the 2016 face to face. Trump did not talk to journalists after the trip, but in an interview with the unofficial advisor and presenter of News Sean Hannity, he said that the charge was now in Zelenskyy and European leaders.

“Making an agreement, having a deal. Russia is a very big power, and they are not,” he said when he was asked what advice he would give to Zelenskyy.
