Odd to say when we begged for the meeting.
The NY Times website has Zelensky meeting with Uk Prime Minister Starmer.
Putin requested this meeting.
[Russian Foreign Minister] Sergey Lavrov:....
We have made no secret regarding our position on the settlement. Russia proceeds from the premise that Kiev’s non-accession to NATO, as well as reaffirming its neutral and non-aligned status as per the 1990 Declaration on Ukraine’s State Sovereignty – these factors form one of the two pillars for a final settlement to the Ukraine crisis that would meet Russia’s security interests. The second pillar consists of overcoming the legacy of the neo-Nazi regime which took power in Kiev after the February 2014 putsch, including the initiative by its perpetrators to eradicate and cancel, in both physical and legislative terms, everything Russian, be it the Russian language, media, culture, traditions, or the canonical Orthodox faith.
The international recognition of Crimea, Sevastopol, the DPR, the LPR, the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions as part of Russia is another imperative.
All the commitments Kiev assumes must be legally binding, contain enforcement mechanisms and be permanent.
Demilitarising and de-Nazifying Ukraine is also on the agenda, along with lifting sanctions, withdrawing lawsuits and cancelling arrest warrants, as well as returning Russian assets subjected to the so-called freeze in the West.
We will also insist on obtaining solid security guarantees for the Russian Federation in order to shield it from any threats emanating from hostile activities by NATO, the European Union and some of their member states along our western border.

That’s from April 28th.
“Odd to say when we begged for the meeting.”
It was due mainly to the accelerating Russian gains on the ground. There was also a definite change in the reporting by Western Media in the direction of accuracy as they were unable to keep the Ukrainian losses under wraps.
Almost 99% of the Third World invaders are still in the USA.
And 100% of the Third World judges are still federal judges.
Pathetic Anti-Trump nonsense that I would expect to see on DU.
Expel domestic invaders first!

No, that’s a lie and some serious gaslighting. We begged, threatened, cajoled and sent an envoy to Moscow to beg for it. They didn’t come to us, *desperate* for a meeting.
We have spent a year begging for that 30 day cease-fire so we can jam in “the coalition of the willing”, start no fly zones, embed “peacekeepers” in every Uke position, pour in all the weapons we can and start the next looting phase...the rebuilding.
And of course, we want to start chest bumping China now.
I didn’t just make it up. You realize the implication of what you’re saying is that President Trump and his administration are lying then, right? Why would you do that?
I was under the impression that witkoff took a proposal to Moscow and Moscow agreed with it and the meeting was arranged, but in the context of both you guys I don’t think I know where the meeting request originated.
I thought it was wytkoff
8:30BST? Basic Standard Time?
Both sides used these talks smartly to attack. Also means each side needs more time and death before real talks.
Go home Trump. Make it more painful to both if you want to hurry this along....much, much more painful.
Desert RINO knows this.
Desert RINO simply suffers from terminal TDS
“Donald Trump has said Vladimir Putin is “not going to mess around with me””
Yeah, a month ago.
>>”And of course, we want to start chest bumping China now.”
So now China is a victim as well? You’re pathetic - and apparently America Last.
