Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky revealed he will President Trump in Washington, DC, on Monday “to discuss all of the details regarding ending the killing and the war.”
Zelensky spoke on the phone for over an hour and a half with Trump, who was on board Air Force One en route back to the White House after meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska for nearly three hours on Friday. .... Trump appeared to confirm that an in-person trilateral meeting with Zelensky and Putin was in the works.

He reported that Trump was still talking to leaders hours later, trying to work out some deal.
Trump has been working to develope some agreement all day.... so it's now up to zelensky to really show he wants peace, otherwise there's no point in Trump talking with zelensky any further.

Ooooooops.
...wrong thread.
The Z man has a huge carbon footprint. Only rivaled by Jeff Bezos. He is a travelin man. Is he a rolling stone? Temptations reference.
It seems like spends at most one night a week in Ukraine.
Joey b Cornpops boss from Scranton (😆) PA has always paid Z’s air fare
I was always wonderin how it was funded. Must be nice.
Imagine Biden, or worse, Kamala, working on this peace deal and speaking with all the leaders of countries and NATO.
It was the autopen you fool
Z says he will meet Pres Trump in DC on Monday “to discuss
all of the details .......regarding ending the killing and the war.”
That’ll cost US taxpayers a bundle.
Good. High time to work with POTUS instead of poo pooing everything. I suggest he behave and cut out the sabotage too.
Good for US taxpayers too if these stupid wars end.
Biden was nothing more than a sock puppet. The whole world knew he wasn’t running America.
There is absolutely nothing to discuss. Dictator Grease Spot will be given his marching orders, pack up his bags, and retire with his $millions of US tax dollars.
Maybe he’ll get to stay for lunch this time, although I wouldn’t bet on it.
“”Maybe he’ll get to stay for lunch this time, although I wouldn’t bet on it.”””
He should wear a suit and show some respect or get thrown out the door AGAIN.
A great and very successful day in Alaska! The meeting with President Vladimir Putin of Russia went very well, as did a late night phone call with President Zelenskyy of Ukraine, and various European Leaders, including the highly respected Secretary General of NATO. It was determined by all that the best way to end the horrific war between Russia and Ukraine is to go directly to a Peace Agreement, which would end the war, and not a mere Ceasefire Agreement, which often times do not hold up. President Zelenskyy will be coming to D.C., the Oval Office, on Monday afternoon. If all works out, we will then schedule a meeting with President Putin. Potentially, millions of people's lives will be saved. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

The whole idea of ending the war has shifted a little determined upon the grind it has morphed into. The war was based upon the regaining of land with worth that was taken from Russia in the early nineties when the Ukraine told them they were leaving the fold. Due to the minerals and tradeable containments of the land Russia sees a wealth that was worth the effort to take it by force. But they were limited in their attacks as they didn’t want to damage the property they were going after or kill the brain trust that had the knowledge to farm it.
Because of the type of war it is Russia has had it stretch into time and the treasure is getting harder to get because Zelenskyy and his suicidal attitude are not going to give up the areas that make Putin’s efforts worth the effort. So as long as the idiot in the Ukraine continues to wave a bone in front of Putin, it will continue the war. And that is profitable for Zelenskyy. Don’t look for any changes or efforts toward peace from Z.

Notice Zelensky doesn’t use the word “Peace”.
He doesn’t want peace, because that would end his power.
So many people who post here on FR are going to be saddened if Trump negotiates a lasting peace between Ukraine and Russia. The lengths certain people will go to find something negative to say is nauseating and it reveals who they truly are.
Want Guns Will Travel
This was a start. Trump was free from his enemies. Lindsay Graham was nowhere to be seen or heard during the Alaska Summit.
From what I know, Zelinski being a homosexual as are the majority of the EUropean male leadership, will not find a comfortable setting in DC with Trump; he will have to go to Lindsay “Two Red Shoes (Heels) Graham for that interaction.
Important documentation with which to blackmail EUropeans and certain Americans were provided to the Trump Team in Alaska. Putin and Trump are a type of ally created in the aftermath of the Cold War, whereby both were viciously attacked by the status quo. Together, Russia and America can build trust.
The manufactured enemy state status of the US and Russia is only in EUrope or the ME. When it comes to the forgotten US-Russian border, we were remined by President Putin’s words of the time when allies defeated the Nazi’s, and Japanese without mention. President Trump and his guest will be meeting in Russia, probably St. Petersburg or possibly near the Russo-Chinese border to showcase the economic boom in one ofthe border cities there, that has occured in the past five years.
There is much positive to take away. The biggest thing is that Pam Bondi got actionable intelligence on the deep state.
Trump may well have ordered an American disengagement inside Ukriane, pulling out the remaining HIMARS support personnel packages, the HEADDQUARTERS and COMMAND Center elements. I am sure that purly EUropean operations within Ukraine know to the Pentagon may have had general but not percise targeting location infomation passed to Putin. This is how you end a war when your Allies stab you in the back; you pull your personnel out quietly leaving them alone in the Command centers, like Afghanistan when we slipped out in the dead of night, leaving the Coalation of the Willing to awake to empty US positions. The inference is that EU, especially British interference, can be switfly eliminated in Ukraine.
Direct lines of communication were started between primary players on both sides in Alaska.
I will end with a quote from EUrope: The most telling political commentary of the month. “Europe has been bypassed by history. They paid the price for their blind arrogance and bias.”- French politician Dupont Anganon
