Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump have held a rare phone call, which the US leader described as “excellent,” but the Kremlin refused to agree to a ceasefire in the war with Ukraine, despite pressure from Washington and European allies.
Speaking to reporters in Sochi after the two-hour conversation on Monday, Putin described the call as “very meaningful and frank,” and said he was prepared to work with Ukraine on drafting a memorandum for future peace talks.
However, the Russian leader declined to support the US-proposed 30-day unconditional ceasefire, which Ukraine had already agreed to – and which Washington had framed as the call’s primary objective.
“It was an excellent phone call. A beautiful phone call. I didn’t get anything I wanted and I only needed to give Putin our launch codes. Can you believe it? Such a beautiful call.”
I’m beginning to think Trump doesn’t really have a plan for anything. I don’t want to hear all the controversy a comment like this can bring out people. I said what I said. I stand by it.
The only objectionable thing said was “beginning to”, so probably relatively safe from controversy
Well it’s a concept of a plan
he defers all his plannings to putin, and puts on an act so that putin would look like the reasonable one in these “talks”. hes also extremely lazy thats why he rarely pushes back against people who has more wealth or power than he does.
I’m also starting to think this Hitler guy might have been a bit racist. /s
I didn’t even know he was sick.
Still none of that peace he promised day one over 100 days into his presidency.
Art of the Deal
art of the steal, trumps edition.
Neither of them want a ceasefire. Russia wants to take over Ukraine and Trump wants to pretend that he’s always busy trying to solve the problem when he isn’t going to do a single thing to stop the war. They’ll keep the war going as long as possible for their own needs.
russia has to make it look like ukraine and USA is unreasonable, so they can justify thier actions more, also its meant for internal consumption as well.
How I bet that call went:
“Agent Krasnov speaking, may I take your order?”

They are doing exactly what Israel did and doing to Palestine. Slowly blaming them for fail fake deals.

Talks for drafting a memo regarding talks for drafting a plan for talks regarding a setting for talks regarding a plan for peace talks somewhere down the road…
Putain has zero intention of ending this without the full and complete subjugation of Ukraine.
🤷♂️ 🤡 🖕
Putain has zero intention of ending this without the full and complete subjugation of Ukraine.
Even if Russia subjugated the entirety of Ukraine, they still couldn’t afford to stop. They’ve completely transitioned to a war time economy and have isolated all foreign capital.
If Putin decides to end the campaign in Ukraine, it would just mean that they’re about to invade somewhere like Slovenia. They’re economy couldn’t handle the transition into a regular economy without imploding.
I agree with you, but I would bet Slovenia is not very high on the “where to invade next” list😅
I mean, even their wartime economy is getting questionable. They’re running out of old WWII tanks to refurbish, the cost of rural Siberian lives keeps going up, and revenues keep going down.
it would also make putin look weak to moscowvites and st petersburg russians.
The president of the US of Russia doesn’t want a ceasefire. We all know that.
He ceaded everything to Putin at the get go and now is surprised he won’t compromise.
What was the title of that book again?
The Shart of the Meal
putin said he wants more and more everytime.
Is anyone surprised
I’m assuming that phone call was basically the same energy as Adam & Joe asking Dermott O’Leary to get shit from a service station
Except with zero concession
Trump: “Zelensky, you need us so that we can make sure Putin takes more land.”
Zelensky: “You’re right. I have such great respect for you, Mr. President.”
Tell that Putin puppet Trump that he’s a weak ass bitch Zelensky, else you look like one.
