Message: [QUOTE="Nehanda, post: 28747, member: 2262"] Trump likes his chat with Putin about stopping the Ukraine war. He called their meeting good and helpful. Putin and US helper Steve Witkoff spoke Thursday in Moscow. After that talk, Russia said they felt hopeful about peace, just like America does. Trump wrote online that these talks might end this awful bloody war. Ukrainian leader Zelensky thinks differently. He believes Putin just wastes time talking to keep fighting. British leader Keir Starmer agrees Putin cannot trick everyone with fake peace offers. Ukraine has already said yes to America's suggestions for peace, but Russia has not agreed yet. Putin claimed he wanted peace but added many hard rules. Zelensky called this sneaky. He posted messages Friday saying Putin could not quit fighting because he would lose everything. The Ukrainian president thinks Putin is trying to block real peace talks by making impossible demands. He warns Putin will make everyone waste months on empty talks as Russian guns keep killing people. Every rule Putin suggests just blocks real progress. Starmer said Russia ignored Trump's peace offer, which shows Putin does not really want peace. If Russia finally agrees to talk, we must watch them closely to ensure peace lasts. If not, we need to push Russia harder with money pressure until the war stops. Starmer plans to talk with about 25 other leaders by video on Saturday. They want to build a team ready to keep Russia from attacking again if peace happens. Zelensky asked everyone who can pressure Russia, mainly America, to take strong steps because Putin will not stop alone. Ukraine says Putin lies about how the war goes, how many people die, and how his country's money works. The White House believes both sides have never been closer to peace. Their spokesperson, Karoline Leavitt, said the Putin-Witkoff meeting went well. She added Trump pushes Putin to do right. Trump asked Putin not to hurt Ukrainian soldiers who he says Russian forces surround. He warned killing them would cause the worst slaughter since World War Two. Putin had claimed Ukrainian troops in Kursk were trapped. Ukraine denied this Friday, saying their forces moved safely to better spots. Putin promised if Ukrainian soldiers in Kursk gave up their guns, Russia would treat them properly under the law. Leaders from rich countries met in Canada, where Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly said all members agreed with the US peace plan backed by Ukraine. She thinks Russia must act next. British Foreign Secretary David Lammy said these leaders want peace with no extra rules. US Secretary Marco Rubio added America will not decide things based on what people say online or at press events. He stressed only talks between both sides can really end this war. [/QUOTE]
