Trump Hosts Zoom Peace Summit, Russia-Ukraine Still Ghosting
In a diplomatic episode worthy of 'The Office: International Crisis Edition,' President Trump gathered Zelensky, European leaders, and his envoy Steve Witkoff on a Thursday Zoom call to discuss Russia-Ukraine peace. Trump confessed he's been 'talking to Putin and Zelensky' like a persistent telemarketer, but 'they’re not ready yet.' Zelensky is down to meet Putin, but only if the terms don’t read like a Cold War Netflix script. Meanwhile, Putin invites Zelensky to Moscow — a meetup Ukrainian officials fear might come with unfinished business. The Paris meeting with the 'coalition of the willing' debated Ukraine’s military security complete with 'boots and flags on the ground,' plus fighter jets, ships, and cyber wizardry. It’s diplomacy meets multitasking in the age of global software glitches.
