Zelensky - Trump meeting.…just horrible. BBC news live.

[JanieJS]

Scary stuff.

I don't know what to say.

Anyone who supports Putin is cheering on global conflict.

Sorry but why not? people can protest in the UK, in Europe, and many other places.

What he was wearing IS his uniform.

He's the president of a country at war not a fucking businessman looking to make a fast buck. What he wants is his country not to be overrun by Russia.

Cretinous comment.

Definitely not. I have a feeling the blimp will be up again and the middle finger mown into the fields and lawns on his flight path into the UK.

Hopefully the golfing fraternity will find its balls and abandon his golf clubs too.

RIP Janey Godley she knew a c you next Tuesday when she saw one.

Massive respect to Trump and Vance for talking straight to that clown and finally putting it as it is.
From a Czech person.

@Nothatgingerpirate Are you going to suggest that all Ukraine needs to do is paint Russian tanks pink to win the conflict ?

If you're right, and it certainly feels right, then it's definitely fooled all these people on this thread.

Don't be ridiculous. Putin doesn't want nuclear war any more than we do - because the outcome for everyone would be the same.

President Zelensky has gone right up I'm my estimation, and I await the reaction of our weak backed leader 😳.

"If I'm reading this right, and this is the back room game, then Trump has played a genius move in signing the minerals deal first, then looking like having a major fallout with Zelensky live on international TV.
It would explain Z being able to stay so calm."

No deal was signed.

Just watched the bit where one of the reporters asked Zelensky why he wasn't wearing a suit!
Awful, awful bullying.

Zelensky looked so uncomfortable- I wish Macron and Starmer had been there today to support him.

Who supports Putin on here?

Zelenski’s got a very difficult time right now. He needs to give half of his mineral deposits to Trump, land to Putin and keep the peace or fight Putin alone and have no country in couple of days.
The thing is ,he knew he’s going to sign the agreement, he most probably had the agreement to study before this , he got very demanding in the process asking from US complete security going forward( I assume is for them to join NATO) Trump was put on the spot and got very undiplomatic, therefore the whole thing fell through

Absolutely agree. Never seen anything like it.

Economic pressure is a good first step, yes. It doesn't matter if he 'gives a shit' or not, it will weaken Russia.

If you're against Zelenskyy and Ukraine, you're pro-Putin by default.

Exactly. horrific behaviour

I don’t understand what you mean, can you explain? I want to believe that this is all part of a grand plan, but unfortunately my expectations of the ‘very stable genius’ are not high.

“Weakening Russia” just means the poorest Russians will die.

He doesn’t care about that.

And what if you’re pro-ceasefire and anti-escalation?

So depressing. Trump and Vance are trash.

Agree 💯

Just seen Lindsay Graham being interviewed. 'Never been so proud of POTUS.'
Looks like the strategy is to force Zelensky out of office (and install a Putin backed puppet?).

Putin certainly doesn't care about other people, that's true.

I had a shadow of a feeling that maybe Trump does care a bit - his dwelling on the young, innocent dead - but he's too stupid or corrupt to realise that supporting Putin will not help matters in the long run.

I never said anything in defense of Trump.

I said Zelensky should not be protecting sex offenders like Hunter Biden. According to you that makes me 'weird'. I find that quite disturbing. Sex offenders should not be protected, your position on this is quite depraved and concerning in all honesty.

Putin could end this war this minute by simply leaving Ukraine.
