Pu doesn't want to meet Zelensky for several reasons: 1) a meeting erodes Pu's cosplay as the leader of a great power that unilaterally decides other countries' fates; 2) Zelensky can't be hoodwinked w historical bs, which is 99% of Pu's material; 3) Pu's simply too chicken.

🇺🇸 Bessent told Fox News that the US is considering all possible sanctions against Russia. ❗️He noted that after the meeting between Putin and Trump and the subsequent phone call, as well as the visit of European leaders and Zelensky, Putin, contrary to expectations, stepped up the bombing.

russia deliberately targets Ukrainian children. Today’s vile attack during First Bell is yet more proof. The terrorist state attempts to sow fear among Ukrainians from an early age. But they won’t succeed — Ukrainian kids will grow up strong and resilient.

For 3.5 years the EU has shown Russia that they can jam GPS in the EU with zero repercussions. Having learned the lesson well, Russia is now even taking out GPS for von der Leyen’s travel, & no doubt laughing their heads off. A strongly worded statement from Brussels will follow.
