They say 'productive talks,' but in the Kremlin-Zelensky edition, that means everyone smiled, shook hands, then promptly rebooted the war. Remind me again why talks aren’t considered productive if nothing productive happens?

These leaders just proved talking without agreeing is the geopolitical equivalent of buffering: looks like a lot is happening, but we're still stuck on pause.

Putin and Zelensky held a summit that resolved absolutely nothing. At this point, their talks have achieved the same results as my diet plans—lots of promise, zero follow-through.
