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.

Kellogg’s praise for Z was posted by Kellogg on X Thursday morning, so this report by AP comes after Kellogg’s praise appeared. I know it’s AP but maybe Trump is back-channelling on Kellogg, and may be replacing him.

Zelensky has no intention of negotiating a cease fire or peace agreement

He is a dead ender who will be forced to suspend martial law and be lynched by his own people if there is a cease fire and suspension of martial law.

His plan is to provoke Trump into a personality conflict to give Trump's domestic enemies a pretext to impeach him.

It may be working.

It was cancelled because Z-Man was sleeping off a cocaine and whiskey binge.

“As tensions rose?”

Tensions are to Trump what a briar patch is to Br’er Rabbit.
