Trump declines to meet with Zelensky to discuss Ukraine’s ‘victory plan’ against Russia, Trump calls Putin to discuss Russia's ‘victory plan’ against Ukraine.
Zelensky wouldn't be stupid enough to tell Trump anything important.
My guess is Zelensky would've told Donald some bs alternative of his plan that would throw Russia off and play into his actual plan, since he'd expect Donald to tell Putin.
Putin would know and it risks further damaging relations if trump won.
"we don't have an entire army in this location waiting to ambush Russian troops, it's safe for Putin to attack this region"
He's a busy man. Got all those women to protect and make decisions for.
They should’ve called it ‘concept of a victory plan’
Why? He's not in office, so is a private citizen and shouldn't be meeting or talking to any foreign heads of state. That's the law. Not that Donold cares, and has already broken that law, but Zelenskyy should know better.
…shouldn't be meeting or talking to any foreign heads of state. That's the law.
It is? News to me. He can’t represent the US government without a Presidential request, but he can talk to whoever will make time for him.
OTOH, Zelenskyy does have a government to represent. As to why he would want to talk with a convicted felon, who knows?
Is that the law? I don't think there's a law that forbids politicians from talking to foreign ones, even if they aren't currently in government.
Various countries had meetings with Kier Starmer and other UK Labour politicians before their recent election victory. They of course couldn't do anything official, but it did aid in quickly signing some pacts with Germany quickly after Starmer entered government.
Why do we believe anything a Russian media outlet says these days?
ETA: Finally found their About page. It says that they’re independent and now publish from Latvia. My apologies.
Well played Zelensky, I laughed. Nice subtle jab.

- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in !yurop@lemm.ee. (They're cool, you should subscribe there too!)
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
(This list may get expanded when necessary.)
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the mods: @federalreverse@feddit.org, @poVoq@slrpnk.net, or @anzo@programming.dev.
