KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — A news conference that was planned to follow talks between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and U.S. President Donald Trump’s Ukraine envoy was canceled Thursday as political tensions deepened between the two countries over how to end the almost three-year war with Russia.

The event was originally supposed to include comments to the media by Zelenskyy and retired U.S. Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg, but it was changed at the last minute to a simple photo opportunity where the two posed for journalists. They did not deliver statements or field questions as expected. The change was requested by the U.S. side, Ukrainian presidential spokesman Serhii Nikiforov said.

This enmity has been building for eight years.

Ukraine picked a side back then.

Now they pay the price.

Is Zelenskyy STILL on Biden’s payroll? Of course, by Biden, I mean Soros.

“I’m hearing the US stopped the weapon supply to Ukraine.”

I don’t doubt it, but would still like to see a source.

Zelensky may have understood the message:

Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa

I had a productive meeting with @SPE_Kellogg —a good discussion, many important details. I am grateful to the United States for all the assistance and bipartisan support for Ukraine and the Ukrainian people.

It’s important for us—and for the entire free world—that American strength is felt. We had a detailed conversation about the battlefield situation, how to return our prisoners of war, and effective security guarantees.

From the very first second of this war, Ukraine has sought peace. We must and can ensure that peace is strong and lasting—so that Russia can never return with war. Ukraine is ready for a strong, effective investment and security agreement with the President of the United States. We have proposed the fastest and most constructive way to achieve results. Our team is ready to work 24/7.

Success unites us all. Strong Ukraine-U.S. relations benefit the entire world.

I thank General Kellogg for the joint work to achieve important results.

Waltz somewhat addressed that today at a WH press conference. He said that in the past the US took weapons out of our stocks and then replenished them later. However, the replenishment is not going as fast as needed thereby depleting our stocks. Given our global commitments, we need to insure that our stocks are at the appropriate levels to meet possible contingencies. So there could be delays in meeting requests for Ukraine. America first.

Side note: Trump is pissed at Zelensky's insults and the fact he pulled out of the rare earths deal. Zelensky poked the bear and the bear will win.

Quite sad that Ukraine became the corrupt playground and cess-pit of US Democrats and the US (and Brussels) globalist “deep-state.”

Trump is returning US-Ukraine-Russia policy to common sense, and recognizing reality. Yet it is, unavoidably, a huge sea-change in policy - and a death-sentence for the Azov/neocon-installed Ukraine regime.

It really shows how divided (and how deep-state controlled) America itself is.

Ukraine in its 2014-2022 form is gone forever. I hope we in the USA can survive this.

The little fella got NOTHING but a hearty handshake.

I know he got the handshake because they took pictures of it.

Why would we not survive this?

“We must and can ensure that peace is strong and lasting—so that Russia can never return with war.”

Only a legendary, consummate fool with a degree in suicide thinks it’s possible to ensure a giant country, with 7,500 nukes able to reach worldwide cannot go to war to ensure it’s sphere of influence and security buffer.

Nobody has the power to do that.

Not even the USA.

Russia will provide Ukraine all the security it is going to get.
