Good. You have to communicate. When you stop talking, that’s when the problems intensify. It’s like a steam-release valve. The majority of Americans want peace. Why would we want to have eternal enemies
Prepare for Zelensky to act out between now and the beginning of the talks.
I believe such calls are only publicized when the content and conclusions have already been worked out between the supporting staffs.
Trump is in the hospitality business; and he seems at times like the head of the American, or at least federal, property, lifting up bed covers and carpets to expose areas that need to be cleaned up.

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. President Donald Trump will speak with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday as efforts continue to end to the war in Ukraine, a move that could represent a possible pivot point in the conflict and an opportunity for Trump to continue reorienting American foreign policy.
Trump disclosed the upcoming conversation to reporters while flying from Florida to Washington on Air Force One on Sunday evening, while the Kremlin confirmed Putin’s participation on Monday morning.
“We will see if we have something to announce maybe by Tuesday. I will be speaking to President Putin on Tuesday,” Trump said. “A lot of work’s been done over the weekend. We want to see if we can bring that war to an end.”
(Excerpt)
Hopefully President Trump will bring a document of Drcurity Assurances for Putin to sign... of course that is no guarantee:
1. RADIATION AND NUCLEAR SAFETY
Russia must immediately withdraw all its militants from the territory of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. The station must be immediately transferred to the control of the International Atomic Energy Agency and Ukrainian personnel. The normal connection of the station to the power grid must be restored immediately so that nothing threatens the stability of the reactors.
The same goes for the crazy threats of nuclear weapons that Russian officials resort to. There are and cannot be any excuses for nuclear blackmail.
2. FOOD SECURITY
Ukraine can export 45 million tonnes of food this year. And let a significant part of it be directed to those who suffer the most.
Each country can join with a specific contribution and become a co-creator of the victory over hunger and the food crisis.
3. ENERGY SECURITY
About 40% of Ukraine’s energy infrastructure was destroyed by strikes of Russian missiles and Iranian drones used by the occupiers.
4. PRISONERS and DEPORTEES
Thousands of UKRAINIANS – military and civilians – are in the Russian captivity being subjected to torture.
In addition, 11,000 children know by name were forcibly deported to Russia. They are separated from their parents in full knowledge that they have families.
Additionally, hundreds of thousands of deported adults and political prisoners are held in Russia and in the temporarily occupied territory as well as in Crimea.
All these people must be released.
5. UNITED NATIONS CHARTER AND UKRAINE’S TERRITORIAL INTEGRITY
The validity of international law must be restored without any compromises with the aggressor. The UN Charter cannot be applied partially, selectively or at will.
Russia must reaffirm the territorial integrity of Ukraine within the framework of the relevant resolutions of the UN General Assembly and the applicable international legally binding documents. This should not be up to negotiations.
6. RUSSIAN TROOPS AND HOSTILITIES
Russia must withdraw all troops and armed formations from the territory of Ukraine. Control over all sections of Ukraine’s border with Russia must be restored. This will result in a real and complete cessation of hostilities.
7. JUSTICE
The world should endorse the Special Tribunal regarding the crime of Russia’s aggression against Ukraine and create of an international mechanism to compensate for all damages caused by this war. Compensation at the expense of Russian assets because as the aggressor must be held responsible to do everything to restore the justice it violated.
8. IMMEDIATE PROTECTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT
Millions of hectares of forest were burned by shelling. Almost 200,000ha of Ukraine land is contaminated with unexploded mines and shells.
Many countries are already helping with de-mining. However, there is an urgent need for increased number of equipment and experts for these operations. Funds and technologies are also needed for the restoration of water treatment facilities.
9. PREVENTION OF ESCALATION
Ukraine is not a member of any alliances. Russia was able to start this war precisely because Ukraine remained in the grey zone – between the Euro-Atlantic world and the Russian imperialism.
An international conference should be held to finalize key elements of the post-war security architecture in the Euro-Atlantic space which include guarantees for Ukraine. The main outcome of the conference would be the signing of the Kyiv Security Compact.
10. CONFIRMATION OF THE END OF THE WAR
A document confirming the end of the war should be signed when all the anti-war measures are implemented and security and justice begin to be restored. States ready to take the lead in this or that decision can become parties to the arrangement.
Trump should get the Nobel Peace prize for his efforts to stop the war. But he won’t. obammy got it for no reason at all.
