As expected, virtually nothing was accomplished in Trump's chat with Putin. Trump turned the matter over to Putin and Zelenskyy.
The Guardian reports, "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. Putin also suggested his country’s maximalist objectives in the war with Ukraine were unchanged.
"In contrast, Trump offered a far more positive spin, saying in a post on his Truth Social network that the talks went “very well”.
“The tone and spirit of the conversation were excellent … Russia and Ukraine will immediately start negotiations toward a Ceasefire and, more importantly, an END to the War,” he wrote.
Trump suggested that the Vatican should host future Russia-Ukraine negotiations.(???)
Trump s not a well man. Where did Republicans get this guy? Where are Trump supporters?
