Donald Trump has put the onus on Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, to reach a ceasefire with Russia after the US leader held direct talks with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, in Alaska on Friday.
-
Trump said the direct talks with Putin on Friday did not yield an agreement to pause the war in Ukraine, though he claimed “great progress” during the nearly three-hour-long summit
-
Putin, speaking through an interpreter, suggested the two leaders had hammered out “an understanding

This was a handler meeting with his agent. Anyone who thinks this is about ceasefire is a bit naive.

So Trump failed. No surprise there, but at least he didn't agree something with Putin that Zelenskyy wouldn't agree to (as far as we know, anyway).

Putin & Trump rode together here. That says it all

Reminder that the last time a Russian leader rode inside the presidential limo was Boris Yeltsin in 1991 with George HW Bush just before the dissolution of the Soviet Union. It’s now in reverse

Aren't there some files they "forgot" to release?

Easy, just arm them to the teeth.
Guess we'll wait for those "crushing" sanctions a little bit more though eh TACO?

As a side note, Chinese state-controlled propaganda outlet South China Morning Post reports on the Trump-Putin summit that "Ukraine-Russia land swap, security guarantees ‘largely agreed’", citing Trump saying that "many points" were negotiated “on behalf of Ukraine and on behalf of the whole Nato situation” in a "very warm meeting."
At the same time, according to the South China Morning Post, Trump "warned that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky 'has to' accept what was agreed" and that "the European Union have [sic] to get involved a little bit next".

Beijing's propaganda machine eyeing Taiwan and others is in full force it seems.

‘Dialogue for the sake of dialogue’ - Kremlin tells Russian state media to highlight Putin’s role, lower expectations, and blame Ukraine in summit coverage
It is noteworthy that the Kremlin issued these 'guidelines' before the so-called 'summit.'
Addition:
‘How is it that a war criminal is actually coming to America?’ Ukrainian refugees in Alaska on Putin coming to the U.S. for talks with Trump

So what about the secondary sanctions now?

So peace is not up for debate.
Hotznplotzn@lemmy.sdf.org · 10 pts · 362d
Peace could easily be reached. Russia could leave the whole of Ukraine and call it a day.
plyth@feddit.org · 2 pts · 362d
As always. That's why I think that even a ceasefire will not happen.
So what was the meeting about?
My guess is that Trump explained that he will escalate the war unless Putin retreats soon.

Is Trump NATO in this scenario? Why would we need third-party interference in a war between two parties halfway across the globe?
