President Trump will only meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin if the dictator also meets with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, The Post can exclusively reveal.
“Putin must meet with Zelensky for the meeting to occur,” a White House official told The Post. “No location has been set.”
Moscow on Thursday claimed that Moscow and Washington agreed “in principle” to hold a one-of-one meeting of Putin and Trump — hours after the latter said he still wasn’t sure whether the Kremlin was “tapping [him] along.”
“An agreement was agreed in principle to hold a bilateral summit meeting in the coming days, that is, a meeting between President Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump,” Putin aide Yuri Ushakov said, claiming it was made “at the suggestion of the American side.”

Ridiculous.
And just like that the deal falls apart.
Never was a deal it seems.
Oh no, it’s World War III!
What?! Washington DC gaslit and lied to us again?
When it was announced that a meeting between Putin and Trump was already agreed upon I assumed most of these details had already been worked out. Guess not.
Still can get done.
There never was any deal...
inviting the little homo grifter would screw things up.
Let the adults talk first.
so much for that idea
We at freerepublic can communicate quickly no matter if we are in Europe or Mexico.
Maybe Trump is more cut out to run social clubs.
Maybe russia can have the zelensky opposition be there to arrest zelensky and stage a coup....
The latest from Z:
“I spoke with Bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz. Ukraine and Germany share the view that the war must be ended as soon as possible with a dignified peace, and the parameters of ending this war will shape the security landscape of Europe for decades to come,” the President of Ukraine noted.
According to Zelenskyy, the war is happening particularly in Europe, and Ukraine is an integral part of Europe, as Kyiv is already in negotiations to join the European Union.”
“Zoom Virtual Meetings
Civil
Criminal
Family Division Domestic
Family Division FOC
Family Division Juvenile”
That should cover about everything.

We’ll see.
Curses, foiled again.
There is about a 20 gap in the video in the beginning, but it’s all there.
“Federal district judge order resumption of hostilities between Ukraine and Russia after historic peace agreement by Trump.”
