Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov reiterated on Wednesday that there was an understanding that Trump and Putin should meet in person after thorough preparation, but said there were no details yet on when and where this would happen.

He said the two leaders could speak again by phone if needed, but there were no current plans for this.

The US delegates will fly home with a C-130 full of eggs:

“To help solve its egg price crisis, America is turning to Turkey (the country)”

Talk, talk, talk. I propose a ceasefire in place this afternoon and then we talk about where the new border should be.

I wish Ukraine had the power to drive the Russians completely out, but the reality is that they don’t.

In an article published on February 4 by the Russia in Global Affairs journal, Lavrov accused the US of undermining the international order with “cowboy attacks,” and claimed that the rhetoric of the Trump administration was reminiscent of Nazi Germany. “The ‘America First’ concept has disturbing similarities to the ‘Germany Above All’ slogan of the Hitler period,” he wrote.

Bring the Russian diplomats here instead of meeting in Saudi Arabia and Turkey.

You mean like the last Peace deal in Istanbul, the one the Ukies and Russians agreed on a Peace deal? ….then Boris Johnson flew to Kiev and convinced Zelensky to trash it?

Wiki

After failing to blitz-takeover Kyiv and Kharkiv, taking heavy casualties and being forced to retreat off Kyiv oblast, Putin, as reported by the US magazine Foreign Affairs, was ready to put the status of Crimea up for discussion.[8][246][247]

“Anything political in Wikipedia is an out-and-out lie.”

Trump, live, just confirmed that Putin’s goal was to take the whole of Ukraine.

A well known fact, for years. Wiki is for people who like to be spoon fed with a leftist narrative.
