Trump questions Putin's desire for peace after meeting Zelensky at the Vatican

Donald Trump has questioned Vladimir Putin's willingness to end the war in Ukraine following his meeting with the country's leader Volodymyr Zelensky on the sidelines of Pope Francis's funeral.
Posting on social media after leaving Rome, Trump said he feared Putin was "tapping me along" after Moscow's strikes on Kyiv earlier this week, adding there was "no reason for Putin to be shooting missiles into civilian areas".
Earlier in the day Trump and Zelensky were seen in deep discussion in St Peter's Basilica shortly before the funeral began.
The White House described the 15-minute meeting with Zelensky as "very productive". The Ukrainian president said it had the "potential to become historic".

Writing on his Truth Social account, Trump said the Russian attacks on Ukrainian cities "makes me think that maybe he doesn't want to stop the war, he's just tapping me along, and has to be dealt with differently, through 'Banking' or 'Secondary Sanctions?'".

Trump and Zelensky's sit down in Rome was the first time the leaders had come face-to-face since their White House meeting, when Trump told Zelensky "you don't have the cards" and he was not winning against Russia.
He repeated that message this week, saying the Ukrainian leader had "no cards to play". Trump has previously blamed Ukraine for starting the war and has accused Zelensky multiple times of being an obstacle to peace negotiations.
But the White House struck a more positive tone about Saturday's meeting, while Zelensky described the sit down as a "very symbolic meeting that has potential to become historic, if we achieve joint results".

Yup Zelensky was a moron, listening to to the DNC.
Picking fights with Trump to please whatever Democratic operative that was impersonating Biden.
He just needed to play ball and wait for Putin to piss off Trump.

Putin wants peace on his terms, its why he started the war in the first place.

At this point I wish we could just put Putin and Zelensky in the ring and they fight to the death. Or have an old school duel with dueling pistols.
Winner takes all. War over
Winner takes all. War over

Lock them in a shipping container and give them hand grenades to fight.

Trump got way over his skis guaranteeing he would end the war immediately. No way that was going to happen and he painted himself into a corner politically. That shite show in the Oval Office where JD ended up berating Z should never been allowed to happen. Keep that shite behind closed doors. Putin is just watching all this knowing he can string it along to get everything he wants....and he will still keep pressing to control all of Ukraine.

So we don't like Putin anymore?
Is Russia back to being a threat to America?

So much for settling this on day one.

Moscow attacked kiev because Ukraine attacked Moscow. Why should Putin stop? He holds the cards.

At least it looks like Zelensky has come to his senses but Trump's new opinion on Putin is like

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

Agree. Both are major pieces of shite who don't care about human lives.

And Ukraine attacked Moscow because Russia bombed a playground and killed 9 kids/10 adults earlier this month.
Can play the back and forth blame game all day.

Or did other interests intervene as with the Apr'22 peacetalks?
