Trump speaks out about the Ukrainian war as Putin hosts Kushner and Witkoff

Negotiations between President Vladimir Putin and the American delegation continue in the Kremlin. The US delegation includes Stephen Witkoff and Jared Kushner. Neither is a career diplomat, but Donald Trump describes his friend Witkoff and son-in-law Kushner as "deal masters."

Along with President Putin, the Russian side is represented by Yuri Ushakov, an aide to the head of state, and Kirill Dmitriev, the head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund and special envoy for the settlement.

This is Whitkoff's third time in the Kremlin since the beginning of Trump's second presidency, and Kushner's first. During the public portion of the meeting, during the protocol filming, everyone at the meeting was smiling, except for the US president's son-in-law. Kushner was deadly serious.

While negotiations are underway in the Russian capital, Trump commented on the developments. According to the American president, the conflict in Ukraine is "far from a simple situation."

Trump:

You know, we have a problem with the war. Our people are trying to resolve this war between Russia and Ukraine. We are no longer involved in this conflict financially. Biden handed out $350 billion as if it were candy. It's a colossal sum. And most of it was sent to Ukraine in cash, and the rest weaponsAnd I'm not giving anything away. There's a real mess there that I want to sort out. And that's why our people are in Russia now.

      If Putin starts with the Ostrogoths, Scythians and Sarmatians, and the ancient cities of the Black Sea region, the lecture will last three days. lol

        The envoys won't last three days, the meeting was announced for 17 p.m., they said it was going on at 19:40 p.m., and it still hasn't ended.

          Whether they last or not. That's the envoys' problem. If they die of exhaustion, they'll send new envoys.

        This is excessive. For Americans, it's enough to start with the development of the Wild West—and then the conversation will last for about 40 minutes...

          It's too difficult for them; they can't handle it. Let them at least know that Russia didn't attack Hitler, it was the other way around. And if they learn who took Berlin, that would be the pinnacle of knowledge.

      By the way, in the room where the negotiations took place at the oval shining table, there is a niche, and in it there is a sculpture of the Russian Emperor Alexander III (if I'm not mistaken). This is a hint to the negotiators about what Russia is.

    That's right. Trump doesn't want to give away any more. Trump wants to sell. The main thing is to find someone to pay for Ukraine, because the Americans probably won't give out any more loans—they'll only have to pay the interest until their great-great-grandchildren, if not further...

            Let him do whatever he wants - the EU's piggy bank isn't made of rubber.
            They wrote in Sofia that "brothers" came out to protest against the sharp tax hikes and are demanding the resignation of their government. So, the more powerful it gets, the thinner it gets. Murmur 55.

              Nexcom, they won't achieve anything there, they won't allow it. They can only make a fuss in the EU with Brussels' permission or for Washington's benefit. Look at the German and Polish farmers who were ranting about the dumping of agricultural products from South America, and what happened?! They made a fuss and then went away.

                  Nexcom, this attitude exists in 90% of countries, it's called the opposition. They (that is, the opposition) know for sure that they can "better" govern the state and can "improve" the lives of ordinary citizens, and if you remove the tinsel, then it's simply a change of elites and a redistribution of wealth.

          Judging by the hysteria of Macrons and other Germans, they'll soon start cutting pensions just to find money to send to the Americans. The local population is completely disorganized; the most they can do is smash up stores in the city center. There are no popular leaders there, only planted figures. The Yellow Vests, for example, shut down during the SVO, as if it never happened.

    During an anti-drug operation in Mexico, soldiers killed Pedro Inuzusa Coronel, known as "El Pichón." He was one of the country's leading fentanyl traffickers. The US Department of Justice charged him and his father with narcoterrorism, drug trafficking, and money laundering.

    Yes, it's generally clear what will happen. Our Red Sun Vladimir will confuse our foreign guests' already underdeveloped minds with historical examples and interpretations of events, playful examples, and so on. They'll clack their jaws, try to offer counterarguments, which will be absurd and frankly unconvincing, and eventually they'll agree that further dialogue is absolutely necessary.

    Russia and the United States agreed not to disclose the substance of Putin and Wittkoff's talks in the Kremlin. The talks were top secret and closed.

    This was reported by presidential aide Ushakov.

    US Special Representative Witkoff has departed Moscow, dispatchers report. 2:00 a.m. Moscow time.

      The meeting, as expected, ended without any particular results.

      Ushakov stated that "a useful discussion took place." They discussed not specific formulations and decisions, but the essence—some things they were willing to agree with, while others drew criticism.

      Territorial issues were raised, but no compromises have yet been found, and a meeting between the leaders of Russia and the United States is not currently planned.

      Let's continue at the same pace.
