President Donald Trump told reporters Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy would not be in attendance during a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

So this is an adults only meeting. Good.
I’m sure Trump and Putin can agree on handing over big chunks of Ukraine to Russia.
In the News/Activism forum, on a thread titled Trump says Zelenskyy not invited to meeting with Putin, Mariner wrote: It was never anything but wishful thinking by Ukrainian partisans in the White House, Media and elements of the deep state. I wonder if they gave Zelensky a chance and he blew it, again. Trump said it was undecided whether Z would be there, Vance is interviewed saying the US is done funding Ukraine. So Z knows the US will withdraw support, and Trump looks at Z's attitude to see whether he is ready or willing to negotiate. Z and his handlers in the EU declare they will only discuss peace on their terms, as if they are winning and self-supporting.
Trump then announces Z won't be there. Was that a test Z failed?
“I’m sure Trump and Putin can agree on handing over big chunks of Ukraine to Russia.”
That is the purpose of the meeting.
It’s because he’s ugly and his mother dresses him funny.
The press invited him. Didn’t work.
Z is like Hamas
Eager to negotiate with zero intent to abide by any agreement.
And make outrageous demands
Then blame the other side when talks fail
“What is Russia giving the USA?”
A quiet, unencumbered exit.
Yeah, but what do we get out of it.

Keeping your money instead of funding the war?
I certainly hope so, I want to see my tax dollars at work ... that perverted mighty Z should have been more appreciative of the boat loads of US tax payer money he has cocaine through!!!!!!
No need for a summit for that. All we have to do is leave. Let the Europeans negotiate. It’s their war.
This meeting seems worse than pointless.
He has no cards and doesn’t realise it! He likes endless billions being tossed his way.
Is z going to have to sell his yacht or mansions?
Are we sure that Zelensky has diverted funds to.himself for this? I ask this because it is thrown around a lot rather casually. I don’t want my tax dollars going to the Z man either, or to Lindsey Graham as kickbacks from the defence industry either, for continuing the war. But it’s beyond say if he has not and it’s lies and meanwhile the Ukes appear to be trying to win an unwinnable war against invasion and we joke about corruption? Perhaps Zelensky is the best they’ve got or can get?
Thoughts? Not being rude it’s just sad.
When he gets aid money, his wife is keen shopping in Paris. I also read that he owns a mansion in Miami and I believe Switzerland as well, then there’s all the weapons we sent that were sold by Ukrainian generals on the black market for their own gain.
It’s been reported here and elsewhere on multiple occasions. I’d go digging for you if FRs search actually worked
