Trump, Putin Envoy and Ukraine’s Future: What’s at Stake

Thank You for Standing With Ukraine https://ukrainesupport…

Donald Trump met with Vladimir Putin’s envoy, Kirill Dmitriev—but NOT with the Ukrainian delegation visiting the White House. Then Trump announced that a “big, beautiful agreement” could extend far beyond Ukraine, potentially involving all of Europe. He refuses to reveal what was discussed, yet promises everyone will be thrilled. Everyone? Including Ukraine?

This is an extraordinary development. Trump is talking about a sweeping agreement with Russia while accusing Ukraine of killing Russian civilians. I break down his actual statements, challenge his portrayal of Russia’s war, and explain why these remarks raise serious questions about Ukraine’s place in the negotiations. We also examine Trump’s bizarre confusion over the Jones Act when questioned about Russian diesel reportedly headed toward the United States.

Meanwhile, Vladimir Putin welcomed Patriarch Theophilos III of Jerusalem to Moscow and presented him with Russia’s Order of Friendship. I trace the patriarch’s earlier White House visit, his expressed interest in facilitating peace talks, and the significance of his meeting with Putin. These separate diplomatic developments deserve close scrutiny.

The stakes extend well beyond one White House meeting. What exactly is Trump preparing with Russia? What might it mean for Europe? And most importantly, why is Ukraine being left out of conversations about its own future? Peace cannot be imposed on Ukraine over the heads of Ukrainians.
