Putin referred to a decree Zelensky signed in September 2022 that declared negotiations with Moscow impossible after Russia said it had annexed four Ukrainian regions, which it still does not fully control. Putin said the decree showed Ukraine was not interested in peace negotiations and would nullify any agreement made unless it was revoked.

Russia and the US play key roles in the geo-politics and Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin are important figures.

Donald Trump said in an interview with Fox News that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy "shouldn't have allowed" war in his country to happen.

The Kremlin says a settlement in Ukraine can't be facilitated by a drop in global oil prices as U.S. President Donald Trump has suggested.

I would say they are pragmatic and trusting relations. I can’t help but agree with him that if his victory had not been stolen in 2022, then maybe there would not have been the crisis in Ukraine that arose in 2022.

The president still won’t say whether he has had a recent conversation with Russia’s Vladimir Putin. It’s not clear why he won’t answer the question.

P resident Donald Trump’s new post on Truth Social threatening new economic sanctions on Russia shows that Putin has finally met his match. It now looks as if Donald Trump may not be bullied by Putin’s empty holster of threats, bluster, and bluffs.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday he wanted to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin as soon as possible to secure an end to the war with Ukraine and expressed a desire to work towards cutting nuclear arms.

Trump has repeatedly and explicitly said he wants to use the perception he is unpredictable, and even unhinged, to boost American power.

The Kremlin said both leaders appeared ready for a high-level meeting, but that it was still waiting for word from Washington.

I will do everything I can to oppose those who try to make those things forgotten and who capitalize on the Nazi sentiments still prevalent in our societies. The Austrian and German societies should actually be proud that they finally managed—however incompletely and flawed—to engage with this dark past in a serious way.
