Saudi Arabia and the UAE did not respond to requests for comment. The Kremlin declined comment. But both Trump and Putin have developed friendly relations with rulers of Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

Trump said on Sunday that his administration had "meetings and talks scheduled with various parties, including Ukraine and Russia." When asked about those remarks, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that contacts were 'apparently planned'.

Norks were withdrawn from Kursk as a Trump precondition for talks.

Now the Tooth Fairy can come to the talks, too!

Once the Easter ceasefire framework is agreed upon, the Ukrainians and Russians will be in the same room for the rest of the process.

Except for the part where Elensky isn't the legitimate head of state of Ukraine, and the Russians won't meet with him.

If President Trump slams the door on Ukraine right now, the Republican neocons will cr@p their pants and refuse to advance some of Trump's more controversial cabinet picks.

String the neochumps along, get your people in, THEN slam the Ukraine door.

And why hasn't that damn Trump gotten the price of eggs down yet? It's been two whole weeks!!!    /s
