At the Vatican during the Pope’s funeral, Trump and Zelensky had a significant meeting—their first since a heated Oval Office encounter in February. This meeting comes amid a lot of diplomatic activity, with US, Russian, and European leaders all engaged in talks. People are trying to figure out what Trump and Zelensky discussed, as their body language and PR releases from both sides paint very different pictures.

Trump has been publicly saying that peace talks are close, emphasizing the need to stop the war. He has also stated that Crimea will remain part of Russia, a stance directly opposed by Zelensky, who insists Ukraine’s territorial integrity is non-negotiable.

On Russia’s side, Putin has expressed readiness for dialogue—but notably with "Kyiv" (Ukraine) as a government, not specifically with Zelensky, whom Russia no longer recognizes as a legitimate leader because Ukraine hasn’t held recent elections.

Trust between Russia and the West is badly eroded. Russia remains skeptical of any promises from the US or Europe, especially since Western negotiators seem to suggest that any deal made under Trump could be reversed by a future administration.

There are also massive gaps between the demands of each side:

Russia wants demilitarization and "denazification" of Ukraine.

Ukraine seeks a full ceasefire, territorial integrity, and security guarantees.

Europe remains firmly against appeasing Putin, with many European leaders urging Trump not to negotiate with Russia.

Despite Trump’s optimism about being close to a deal, actual convergence between the parties appears very unlikely, with wide disagreements still in place.

AFTER MEETING WITH JESUS-TRUMP, VOLODYMYR, THE EMISSARY OF LUCIFER, HAS AUDIENCES WITH STARMER, THE ENGLISH DEVIL, AND NAPOLEON...

Zelensky’s Position: The speaker argues that Zelensky has no incentive to agree to peace because any resolution would end his political future. He is seen as stalling and sabotaging peace efforts to survive politically.

Trump’s Role: It’s suggested that Trump now understands Zelensky’s unwillingness to compromise and may soon issue an ultimatum to Ukraine and Europe to either move toward peace or lose U.S. support.

Ukraine’s Reality: Ukraine is portrayed as highly corrupt and dependent on U.S. military support. Without U.S. aid, they would be in a weak position.

Europe’s Role: Europe, particularly NATO, is seen as incapable of acting independently without the U.S. militarily. Some European leaders are called out for being delusional about maintaining permanent hostility toward Russia.

Normalization with Russia: The speaker believes that normalization with Russia is critical for U.S. interests, but NATO leaders oppose it. Still, there is a prediction that political shifts in Europe will eventually sweep away the current leaders who favor ongoing hostility.

Russia’s Focus: Russia, according to the speaker, is not interested in invading Europe but is instead focusing economically on partnerships with BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) and moving away from the West.

Final Thought: The speaker views current Western leadership (both in Europe and Ukraine) as unsustainable and expects that, over time, more pragmatic leaders will emerge, leading to a major geopolitical reset.
