First, it was a demand for ceasefire before anything else occurred.

When Trump shifted, he found a new toy.

Now, the only path forward is a direct meet with Putin.

It's fair to ask: Why is this so important to Z?

Hi just came out this afternoon and said there’s no point in talks, Ukraine is going to continue to try to take territory no matter what.

Trump needs to just turn off the tap.

“Why wont Putin accept Trump’s peace plan to meet with Zelensky?”

Anyone paying attention knows this one.

It’s because he has gained advantage in the field.

Why is meeting to stop the biggest war in Europe since WW2 important?

It quite obvious to all but Putinist Russia’s armchair fan club that Putin won’t meet Zelensky because that would legitimize his government and the Ukainian nation seprate from Russkiy Mir. Putin is quite happy, along his fans, to continue warmongering and genocidally erasing the second biggest country in Europe rather than engage in a substantive resolution to his colonialist war of choice.

Zelensky has said numerous times he won’t give up land for Peace.
So what would be the purpose of a meeting?
Looks like it will be Fight To The Last Ukie Male.

Nooooo....it's because he doesn't want peace, never has wanted peace, and is lying to Trump. And Trump is finally catching on.

Correct. Occam’s Razor is spades here. Putin is a mass murdering Kremlin leader who has always used killing and violence to advance his domestic and international political agendas. Prigozhin negotiated a “peace deal” with Putin. How did that work out?

Zelensky doesn’t want peace. He’s just a dwarf drone addict who’s jerking everyone around while he hits civilians:
“ MOSCOW, August 25. /TASS/. Ukraine has increased the number of attacks on Russian territory after the Russia-US summit, which took place on August 15 in Alaska, with the number of attacks on civilian targets rising from 300 to 430 per day, Russian Foreign Ministry Ambassador-at-Large for the crimes of the Kiev regime Rodion Miroshnik told Izvestia.”
Zelensky is no better than Putin.
He’s also pissed off Orban in Hungary by bombing a pipeline and killing Hungarians because Viktor doesn’t want Zelensky in the EU.

All accurate comments.
Zelensky is doing his best to start WW3 with his hit on Hungry.

Why does Zhamasky do anything he does.

He’s just an attention whore

He doesn’t care about Ukraine

He doesn’t care about Russia

He doesn’t care about Europe

He certainly doesn’t care about America

He craves 2 things

World attention

Destruction of any sort

Iow

Hamas with a different accent

I agree. He would like WWIII.
He’s psycho.
And the Europeons can’t get together and agree on anything except that they want the US to take care of the mess for them. They’re totally inept and fractured.

"It's fair to ask: Why is this so important to Z?"

Maybe because President Trump called Putin to arrange a meeting between Zelensky and Putin last week?

“””””Hamas with a different accent”””””

President Trump is not training, and supplying, and aiding, a Hamas, he is doing all that for Ukraine, as it fights off Russia and North Korea.
