Trump, Putin and Zelensky: will peace break out?Ukraine and the EU want to throw a spanner in the works, and the MSM is ‘oh-so-happy’ to help.We have been reporting on how Volodymyr Zelensky and Donald J. Trump meeting on DC on Friday (17) unfolded differently than expected.Read: Trump-Zelensky Was Reportedly a ‘Tough’, ‘Bad’ Meeting That ‘Ended Abruptly’ – US Will NOT Provide Long-Range Tomahawk Missiles to Ukraine at This PointWith a new Trump meeting with Vladimir Putin expected in the next few days, Ukrainian and European officials are diligently leaking to the Mainstream Media to try to muddy the waters, and disrupt the clear chance of progress in the peace process.This latest round of reports based on anonymous sources say that the meeting between Trump and Ukrainian President Zelensky ‘turned into a heated confrontation, marked by shouting and profanity from Trump’.This was initially reported on Financial Times, with slightly different accounts in many other outlets, such as Reuters and Daily Mail.Instead of selling Zelensky the long-range Tomahawk cruise missiles, Trump would have pressured him ‘to accept Russian peace terms’.Financial Times reported (behind a paywall):“The meeting between the US and Ukrainian presidents descended many times into a ‘shouting match’, with Trump ‘cursing all the time’, people familiar with the matter said.” Trump reportedly ‘dismissed Ukrainian frontline maps, tossed them aside’, and warned the Kiev leader that he would lead is country to destruction.“Trump told Zelenskyy that the Ukrainian leader needed to cut a deal or face destruction. The official said that Trump told Zelenskyy he was losing the war, warning: ‘If [Putin] wants it, he will destroy you.'” The problem is that those reports appear to be the manipulated accounts of the happenings.The CEO of the Russian Direct Investment Fund and Special Envoy of the President of Russia, Kirill Dmitriev, called out the obvious play by Kiev and the warmongering Europeans.Ukrainian delegation seems to leak all of these supposed very specific details to EU/UK officials who leak them to the press. Leaking partnership to derail peace discussions and manipulate public opinion by focusing on some details and ignoring the others. pic.twitter.com/WFRfQVdcyG— Kirill Dmitriev (@kadmitriev) October 19, 2025Trump also dismissed the reports as false. Trump: No ceding of territory discussed with Zelensky“We think that what they should do is just stop at the lines where they are… The rest is very tough to negotiate,” President Trump told reporters on board Air Force One. https://t.co/in2vu7uZOw pic.twitter.com/ISkS62v9zS— Sputnik (@SputnikInt) October 20, 2025“Reporter: ‘During that meeting, did you tell him he needed to cede all of the Donbass region to Russia?’ Donald J. Trump: ‘No, we never discussed it. We think that what they should do is just stop at the lines where they are, the battle lines. You have a battle line right now.The rest is very tough to negotiate. If you’re going to say you take this, we take that. You know, there’s so many different permutations.So, what I say is they should stop right now at the battle lines, go home, stop killing people and be done. What do you think should happen with the Donbass region? Let it be cut the way it is. It’s cut up right now.I think 78 percent of the land is already taken by Russia. You leave it the way it is right now. They can they can negotiate something later on down the line.But I said cut and stop at the battle. I go home, stop fighting, stop killing people’.”Read more:Trump’s Special Envoy Steve Witkoff Told Zelensky That He Must Surrender the Part of Donetsk Region Ukraine Still Holds To Achieve Peace/*!
