Ukraine War Explodes After Trump's Meetings | Putin-Trump Bromance Over, Now Its WW3; Here's Why

A potential face-to-face meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy could redefine the trajectory of the war, but uncertainty clouds the outcome. U.S. President Donald Trump has pushed hard for direct talks, framing them as the best chance for peace since Russia’s invasion began. The last meeting between Putin and Zelenskyy in 2019 collapsed without progress, and skepticism remains high that Moscow will commit to new negotiations. For Ukraine, the talks represent both hope and risk, as Zelenskyy faces existential stakes for his nation. For Putin, meeting Zelenskyy risks humiliation if Ukraine refuses to surrender. Trump insists he can deliver a breakthrough, but Russian officials remain evasive while Ukraine braces for political traps. Whether the meeting happens or not, the diplomatic chess game underscores the fragile balance of global power and the brutal realities of the war. #Putin #Zelenskyy #Trump #UkraineWar #RussiaUkraine #PeaceTalks #WarInUkraine #Russia #Ukraine #Geopolitics #WorldNews #Kremlin #Kyiv #Diplomacy #Ceasefire #Conflict #GlobalSecurity #InternationalRelations #BreakingNews #War ~HT.410~GR.124~
