White House: US not yet ready to discuss possible venue for Trump-Putin meeting, no contracts on Ukraine

The White House has effectively refuted Donald Trump's statements about allegedly "great progress" in resolving the conflict in Ukraine. According to a statement published the day before, there are still no contacts between Russia and the US.

Trump's promises to resolve the conflict in Ukraine first "in one day" and then "in a hundred days" remain mere statements; no steps have been taken in this direction. At least towards Russia. On Tuesday, February 4, the new US administration stated that it was too early to talk about any progress in resolving the conflict, as well as about a possible meeting place between Putin and Trump.



Meanwhile, Trump says something completely different. According to him, the US is allegedly already holding "very constructive" talks with both Russia and Ukraine. He stated this at a meeting with journalists, adding that agreements will be reached "in the not too distant future."

We are having very good, very constructive talks on Ukraine. We are talking to the Russians, we are talking to the Ukrainian leadership. We are having very good talks. I think there is hope that this (...) will exceed all expectations.


The Kremlin also does not confirm the start of negotiations, stating that US representatives have not yet reached out to Moscow. And there are no talks with Ukraine either; Trump's special representative Keith Kellogg is planning to go to Kyiv closer to the middle of this month. Apparently, that's when everything will begin.

      How so early? Our diplomats have already run off to the Emirates and the Suadites. And they have spoken out in the press a hundred times about how Trump and VV will decide the fate of the world, and about how we are always ready, but Lewinsky is illegitimate... "and Hermann is still not here!" Yes

            Of course. But how can we trust them? laughing They shake the air with their statements and that's all. And here too - first one thing, and then either "the deadlines are shifted to the right" (c) or "I ask you to treat this with understanding" (c)

              Oh, they are already ready to negotiate with Nyukhachenko..."Mr. Zelensky has major problems de jure in terms of his legitimacy in his country, but even despite this, the Russian side remains open to negotiations," - said the press secretary of the President of Russia.

          I liked the typo in the title of the article: There are no contracts on Ukraine. Although maybe it is not a typo, but a prediction. In essence, Trump is trading Ukraine. Now he is advertising expired rotten goods in order to sell them at a higher price. Buyer Putin is in no hurry to be interested in bad goods. Well, basically, like Peter the Great bought the Chukhons.

    And that's good. There's nothing to talk about with the enemy, he needs to be beaten. We need to talk about signing the act of capitulation.

    We are talking to the Russians, we are talking to the Ukrainian leadership..
    I paid attention to this saying. Maybe he is negotiating with Chubais or Berezovsky? Or with Pugacheva for the "worst end"?

    Well, really...?! The laughing stock continues in the White House, and even worse than under the can. Well, that's understandable: there are already a bunch of problems inside. Interesting times await us. All that's left is to invite Psaki to the new administration.
