Ukrainian officials are holding high-level talks with the incoming Trump administration, seeking to narrow wide differences on achieving a settlement of Kyiv’s war with Russia even before President-elect Donald Trump takes office.
A top aide to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is due to meet Wednesday with Keith Kellogg, Trump’s choice as special envoy for Russia and Ukraine, and Mike Waltz, the incoming national security adviser, according to a Trump transition official and several people familiar with the discussions.
Kellogg has signaled support for the Biden administration’s efforts to rush weapons to Ukraine, saying it will give Trump leverage with Moscow in negotiating a settlement. But the Trump team has shown little interest in offering Ukraine membership in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, which Zelensky has said he considers a vital security guarantee against future Russian aggression.
Andriy Yermak, Zelensky’s closest adviser, is visiting Washington to forge relationships with Trump aides, according to people familiar with the planning. He met with the incoming White House chief of staff, Susie Wiles, in Florida earlier Wednesday. Worn down by waging the nearly three-year war against Russia, Ukraine plans to communicate its readiness for peace.

Exclusive: Russia’s Lavrov Warns of ‘Dangerous Consequences’ for US in Ukraine

Ask what's left of the third or fourth Ukrainian army if The Putin and his army screwed up the deal.
BTW - The Tucker has interviewed The Lavrov in The Moscow.
Time to get my "Tucker is your Daddy, marcus!" memes back out of storage.
Ohnoes!
Does this mean you've broken up with your gal Isabel van Brugen [aka Das Bruggie]?

The Pout gonna have the pouts, marcus.
Did she find out about you two-timing her with your Special Ukraine Sock and your Special Russia Sock?
“Funny how the panic level of the Putin “peaceniks” continues to increase as President Trump’s return to office draws closer.’
Still trying to pretend you’re a Trump supporter. Sorry pal, you’re not fooling us. You backed the wrong side and now it’s going to cost you.
Can’t wait to hear the leaks about what the Global Homo is demanding.
It's an empty threat. Ukraine is short on manpower and its electric grid on the verge of collapse. More weapons, assuming we even have any to spare, won't make any difference whatsoever.
This is war is over as soon as Trump tells Zelensky he’s cutting off military aid to Ukraine.
Interviewing the Top diplomat in the world today is no bad second. Lavrov is an extraordinary diplomat in moment of history.
To contrast Lavrov with Blinken is simply wasted oxygen and the entire world know’s America’s current SecState is the worst since Franklin.
Lavrov is the premiere diplomat in the world today; our Blinkin idiot is no match thus we have no relations from the Biden Admin.
Tucker doing the work the Biden Admin is unqualified.
Biden has burnt Trump’s campaign promise so Trump can actually just walk away from Ukraine and blame it Biden and the EU...
France saw Macron’s government collaspe tonight... Britian and Stramer the scammer is next. All the war hawks are going down.
Weird how he didn't celebrate with the rest of us Trump supporters on November 5th.
Nor in the days after.
He just immediately weaponized President Trump as a cudgel for his Ukraine spam.
Is the Logan Act a concern for PDJT as he talks to these foreign leaders?
No.
Zelensky will lead off with an attempt to Blind the Trump Team:
That Global Homo Gif is so damn funny.
Thx for another laugh.
It DOES define Zelensky and reveal his purpose without using a word.
