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.

Ukraine should never be allowed to join NATO. It’s an undue provocation for a corrupt country that isn’t worth the risk.
The house should impeach Biden just to put an exclamation point on his disgraceful political “career”.
Biden gave Putin the green light to invade Ukraine in a “minor incursion. And Putin and his crappy army screwed up the entire deal.
Wonder if the ‘Ghost of Kiev’ will fly in for the talks, or if he’s busy elsewhere?
A question for the Ukrainian lurkers. Can you fight the Russians without American assistance? Do you trust the Eurotrash reptiles running Europe to help you on their own? Hell, do you thing the Euroweenies can help you if even if they wanted to?
If the answers to all three questions is “NO” then you better do it Trump tells you too or you’re gonna be on your own, just you and Russia working it out on the battlefield.
Funny how the panic level of the Putin “peaceniks” continues to increase as President Trump’s return to office draws closer.
I still think that the ONLY SOLUTION that Russia will accept is that the US packs up and leaves NATO, along with the other terms Russia has outlined.
Otherwise the ‘promises’ (like no NATO) are only worth the paper they’re written on and given the Neocon record regarding Russia, that basically means they’re WORTHLESS.
But we’ll see. The Neocons seem to propose the same deals that Russia has proposed, but 2 to 3 years later, when the facts on the ground have completely changed. If the Neocons keep that up...the war will end when the Polish border is reached.
Looks like another bogus report.
Lists people to talk to and never mentions the only one that matters, Tulsi Gabbard. Also says discussions are in DC, when the transition team explicitly operates outside DC.
By the way, Mister "Tell Putin," since I sent you the contact for him, have you gotten up the gumption to make your Maximus voice heard by your Kremlin? You can inform us of what they said to you. Thanks in advance.
The Russian officers never thought that they were going to invade Ukraine. Only Putin knew that the invasion of Ukraine was going to happen. So they got caught. Crappy tires. They sold their gas that was supposed to be reserved for their units. Lack of gear for their troops.
Don’t forget all the Javelin anti tank missiles that President Trump sent to Ukraine that helped stop the advance on Kyiv.
Pretty damn funny that Russia promised Tucker Carlson a second interview with Putin in Moscow and then pulled a bait and switch and stuck him with horse face Lavrov instead. Classic!
“Funny how the panic level of the Putin “peaceniks” continues to increase as President Trump’s return to office draws closer.”
That is funny. It is also funny that President Trump campaigned on negotiations and peace. The problem we have is that the lame duck Usurper Biden is escalating the war as fast as he can in his remaining few weeks to stick it to Trump and his voters.
I know that you can see it and understand it but, being the leftist deep cover cockroach that you are, you keep cheering it on. You are a sad little Ukrainian propagandist and thankfully, when the war ends, I guarantee that you will slink away and we will no longer have to deal with your stink.
You really are a pathetic propagandist. An interview with Lab is a huge get and will get millions of views in America and worldwide.
7 weeks to peace and you fading away......
Tucker got the classic bait and switch. No one cares about horse face Lavrov and Tucker knows it. Lavrov talks to anyone.
Tell them I'll get back to them.
Keep chewing on your sour grapes. I am enjoying your impotent rage immensely. Tucker Carlsons online interviews get better views than CNN and MSNBC combined BEFORE the election and their rating crashing.
And Tucker does it from his house on a shoestring budget...... He is doing just fine and living his best life. I wish I was so lucky.
Enjoy the winter in the Ukraine. I’m sure it’s lovely.
