the world is upside down as Putin just came up with the joke of the year, or he may be wetting&popping his pants as his losses keep mounting, Trump's promises during the Alaska meeting didn't materialize, he has been back stabbed and thrown under the bus and out of desperation he wants to negotiate a peace deal, now he wants to talk but when Zelensky asked him to meet at the G7 meeting he declined and ignored the invitation, if it was for me I would give him the middle finger

Russia is losing its war against Ukraine. Proof of this has come from Vladimir Putin himself, who has issued a desperate call for a return to peace talks while his oil refineries burn and his bridges to occupied territory are pounded by Kyiv’s missiles.

Now may be the time for Rutte to explain to the 47th president of the US that his Nato allies are indeed pulling their weight without US help (aside from intelligence) in Ukraine.

Imagine that Trump hadn't helped the 2024 Russian offensive by having the GOP congress to block funding to Ukraine, and also the 2025 surprise Russian counter-offensive in Irkoustk! Russian may already have agreed to a ceasefire!
