Negotiations to end the war
On October 20, talks between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and US representatives on ending the war took place in Oslo . The parties discussed security guarantees for Ukraine and the prospects for a trilateral meeting involving Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and Volodymyr Zelensky.
On October 21, US presidential envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are scheduled to meet with Putin in St. Petersburg. According to media reports, they plan to discuss the terms of a peaceful settlement.
Putin previously proposed holding a trilateral summit with Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping to discuss ending the war in Ukraine.
Why is Europe covering Ukraine’s fight for freedom but not insisting they have a seat at the negotiating table?
No more seats available. 🤣
Witless and Kushner “negotiating?”
Come off it.
You might just as well send Fucker Karlsonov and Viktor Orban, for all the use these putler-rimmers are.
No members of the GOP Putin wing should be allowed anywhere near any legitimate process to end the war.
