United States President Donald Trump said world leaders aim for a full peace agreement to end the war in Ukraine, rather than a temporary ceasefire.
He described his recent meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin as "very successful" and added that the talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, European leaders and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Secretary-General Mark Rutte also went "very well."
Trump confirmed that Zelensky will visit the White House on Monday and also said another meeting with Putin could follow if plans proceed. "Potentially, millions of people's lives will be saved," he said.

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!

No NATO in the corrupted Ukraine shthole and Russia keeps the Russian territories - which came at great cost.
Pretty simple... unless you listen to dung-heads like Linda Graham and Mark Levin, who think our military and taxpayers exist to right their globaloid wrongs.
It can be difficult, for one focused on peace and saving lives, to see the monsters who do not think this way.

I pray that Trump will not be Chamberlain. My fear is that Putin was only buying more time.
They are not going to let it happen. They will use every underhanded tool at their disposal to make sure peace does not happen period. They will do everything they can to exacerbate it so it won’t happen and they will go so far as to take Trump out if they have to.
The only ethnic Russian territory is Crimea. The other four oblasts have Ukrainian majorities.
“I pray that Trump will not be Chamberlain.”
This is starting to get REALLY OLD at this point. Do you also pray that Trump will not be Reagan, as Reagan got along really well with Gorbachev...just as Trump is getting along really well with Putin.
By the way, in case you didn’t know, World War 3 did not happen DESPITE Reagan calling Gorbachev his friend.
More time for WHAT.
Look at the realities of marching across Ukraine into Warsaw, Berlin, Paris and London. WTH would Russia do that. If they did for some totally irrational reason, how many millions of men and what military budget would that even take.
The Western elites: “ Russia is merely a gas station with nucs”
The Western elites: “ Russia is prepared to invade us all and make us communists if we dont ring her with NATO bases”
Western Europe civilization is being devoured by 3d world population replacement. You think Russia already rich in resources and land relative to its declining population wants to try to absorb that? Some of the Wests own Generals predict the next war in Europe already started and it’s a civil war.
Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.
For a drunk, it’s always Happy Hour somewhere in the world.
For an overbred European/NATO military establishment, it’s always 1938 again.
“Trump confirmed that Zelensky will visit the White House on Monday”
Hope Zelensky is a lot more respectful at the White House this time around.
He might be if he understands he got NO cards which is a big if.
A Chamberlain Sell Out is EXACTLY what Appeaser Trump may be copying .
the Murderous Evil KGB Dictator Putin has appeared to rolled Trump again .
We created this mess when Clinton took away Ukraine’s Nuclear weapons .
Does Trump recall any of this ?
I doubt it .
“ Those who forget history are condemned to repeat it “ Santayana.
That evil KGB butcher only can be stopped by the threat of nucs .
Putin Cheerleaders like you are too busy cheering on this evil man .
If Trump appeases the evil Putin .
Kiss the midterms good bye and Europe .
If a ceasefire is not even achievable, I don’t see how going for the whole enchilada at this point is going to be very effective. Guess we’ll see…
And if he doesn’t meet up with his Democrat buddies before meeting President Trump.
Laying down arms will be part of the Peace Agreement.
I think there will be a modicum of a peace agreement.
By Christmas Putin and his Russian nationalist friends within Ukraine will violate the peace agreement. For heavens sakes Russian nationalist shot down a civilian airline KAL style.
Trump will then unleash hell via military transfers to Ukraine that make Biden’s efforts look like the timid effort they were.
I’m looking forward to that in 2026. Puti is Putin peepers.
Language does not equal ethnicity. The majority of the Irish speak English but they are not English. Censuses going back to Tsarist and Soviet times show that the majority in those oblast identify as Ukrainian. Only around 40% in Donetsk and Luhansk identify as Russian, and 60% Ukrainan. Zaporizhzia it is only 24% Russian and in Kherson only 14%. These are ethnic Ukrainian provinces, not Russian.
IBTZ. Nice opus.
“A Chamberlain Sell Out is EXACTLY what Appeaser Trump may be copying”
You don’t seem to like Trump very much with that name calling. Perhaps you don’t belong here?
The Germans were not in the Sudetenland, when Chamberlain “sold out” to them.
Putin is already in the Ukraine.
Just as Hitler was already in Poland when Britain and France declared war, even though they had no troops there to oppose him at the time.
We have NATO armed to the teeth against Russia on her Western frontier.
But we’re not going to go to war with Russia over Ukraine, and everybody knows it.
