A source close to the Ukrainian delegation told the Kyiv Independent that they don't know how the meeting will unfold and are ready for "all scenarios."

Meanwhile, Trump claimed that “Russia wants to see Ukraine succeed,” speaking alongside Zelensky, adding that Putin is “working with Ukraine” to open the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power plant.

“It’s a big step when he’s not bombing that plant,” Trump said

After making this comment Trump, while leaving the stage, tripped on the bar he set for Putin and fell on his face.

    a three-party security guarantee draft between Ukraine, the U.S., and Europe has been developed, as well as a bilateral security guarantee agreement between Ukraine and the U.S.

    I hope Zelensky knows this likely won’t be honored

    I wonder how badly Zelensky wants to punch Trump and drop him in the middle of the war in Ukraine.

      Genuinely, I have a LOT of respect for Zelenskyy that he’s got the ability to socially engineer Trump when he’s saying deeply offensive shit like that to his face in press conferences, and doubtlessly even more idiocy in private.
