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.
  
  "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.
