This is a very interesting public presser from Ukraine President Zelenskyy, Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere and a subdued Finnish President Alexander Stubb. This press event follows President Trump Emissary Steve Witkoff meeting with Zelenskyy, Stoere and Stubb.
Steve Witkoff leaves Norway and is going to St Petersburg to meet with Russian Federation Vladimir Putin tomorrow.
When asked why Witkoff was not present {10:00}, the host PM Jonas Stoere says, “this is a press conference among political leaders,” and then quickly moves on. Both Stoere and Stubb are very subdued from their prior public statements that put themselves in opposition to the U.S. Trump administration and now suddenly reverse and say it is important for them to remain engaged with the USA effort and for all EU nations to support discussions with Russia.
Following Stubb {@13:00} Zelenskyy notes that Witkoff traveling to meet with Putin tomorrow is very important, and he is very happy that “early warning systems” are working and “it’s great.” Zelenskyy repeated referenced the call with Secretary Marco Rubio in outlining a shift in tone that is suddenly very appreciative of the USA support. A very curious shift. WATCH:
As previously noted, there is an early plan for China (Xi), Russia (Putin) and the USA (Trump) to meet on the sidelines of the APEC summit next month in China. Little man Zelenskyy clarifies his prior comments about a trilateral meeting by saying that his comments were directed to a possible U.S, Russia, Ukraine trilateral meeting and not the APEC sideline.
At 16:00 Peter Baker (NYT) obviously notes the tone change visible in this presser and asks about what is going on? Baker was taken aback when Zelenskyy, Stubb and Stoere affirm the positive and constructive meeting with Steve Witkoff, and “there is nothing to gain” by looking at things said yesterday, said Stoere.
Finland President Stubb joins with very complimentary statements of Steve Witkoff affirming his belief this meeting has clarified a lot of issues that now lead toward peace. “Today was a big success” Stubb emphasized as the press conference concludes.
It sounds to me like Secretary Rubio used his linguistic battle skills to pin Zelenskyy on the issue of stirring up trouble and that set up Steve Witkoff for a solid meeting without the political drama and narrative constructs of recent weeks.
The trio of Zelenskyy, Stoere and Stubb looked considerably smaller in this presser perhaps realizing their miniscule stature in the grand scheme of geopolitical affairs. It will be very interesting to see how the U.S. media react to this shifted tone from today – particularly as it relates to the New York Times and Peter Baker’s narrative engineering effort.
Time for this 10-cent midget to go … end this war. Nothing to be gained and every thing to be lost by prolonging this pointless war.
I am quite confident that Steve Witkoff is very capable on his own of providing a thorough wall-to-wall ass-chewin’ to these three without any other administration personnel being present. He is one of those “when you’re talking to me you’re talking to the President” guys that Sundance was writing a prescription for. It’s been nice to see it filled.
some people have the ability to tell you to go to hell and you look forward to the trip, Witkoff is possibly one of those. Rubio definitely is.
I’ve heard the definition of diplomacy is letting the other guy have it your way.
i can’t stand zelensky ,he is warmonger,
He’s a puppet who just came to realize those at his controls cannot and probably never intended to protect him.
Send him a fat load of pallets of counterfeit dollars seized from criminals. Laced with fentanyl from Chyna
Not the first time the CIA has done this
Little Z got over $300 billion from the US
He stole a lot of that money and bought property in the US and elsewhere and no doubt has bank accounts in some countries
He got weapons from Biden which he sold to hostile 3rd parties
He got Starlink and Starshield access which he was not supposed to use for military purposes
He is a LYING COKEHEAD GRIFTER
Lying cokehead grifters are very successful at getting money. See Epstein and Madoff and Congress (R’s and D’s).
Suggestion: Replace “Little Z” with the US Democrat Party. That’s where the money and the political subterfuge truly went.
Ukraine is the laundromat for ALL Congress and others for greased palms. That’s why they want the endless war crap!
“Zelenskyy repeated referenced the call with Secretary Marco Rubio in outlining a shift in tone that is suddenly very appreciative of the USA support.”
Sounds like somebody just discovered their precious personal jewels in a vice, and noticed the handle is slowly turning.
Not necessarily slowly….
Nor tight enough. Squeeze them till they pop.
Finally…
The NWO oligarchs are using their intelligence tools and back channels to tell the Ukraine and Iran to stall peace as long as they can to help democrats. They will do anything for power, money, and another genocidal European War.
🙏 unceasingly
‘unceasingly’
well, until they ‘cease’ (in all manners you are thinking)
I am confused because I did not hear the moderator call on the New York times. I thought I was paying attention. Nonetheless, it is fascinating whatever Witicoff said to Zee Midget slob is not public knowledge.
Hoping he told him we know who supplies you with the stuff your snorting or shooting up, and that will soon stop being delivered. We will also seize all of your properties and cars the you have in the US. And that You are NOT going to have asylum in the USA when you want to escape what you have wrought.
Whatever was said to him sure did change his tune. There is certainly a new drummer that he is dancing to.
Thus, as I have said before, there is more going on that the MSM puts out that are behind the closed doors! Remember the motto: In God we trust, all others we monitor! It’s just so sad that the See Eye Aaye turned their attention inward to CONUS instead of concentrating solely on world affairs! Now we have that See Eye Aaye AND the Enn Ess aaye looking at We The People.
It’s at 15:55.
I think it finally occurred to him the people giving him orders will not be able to protect him.
The leaders of 3 countries, where big hard men live.
Not the most representative H’soS!
What happened to the smart men????
I’m thinking that Rubio outlined how their lives would change if the U.S. simply pulled out of NATO.
PDJT applied direct pressure on Norway and Finland. This is why Zeppo fell in line.
They are scheming a-holes and got caught with their pants down. We all know what comes around goes around.
Why is our government still giving this a$$ whole money?
Sounds like for not much longer. The folks benefiting the most from the tap being shut off will soon be screaming about how we can’t do that. They will out themselves.
Lil Z is alive and well, also still the leader of the nation, why?
We hold all the cards and he makes all the rules. Something very wrong. He gets more wealthy and Ukraine burns. This is a perfect example of how wars enrich people. The lives of all those killed are sold so people can get rich. Move on to abortion, drugs, human trafficking, then the more subtle ones pharmaceuticals, welfare, public schools, nursing homes. Our lives are measured by insurance companies to the year and we are sold off as slaves.
If we had a king he would be a target, ours are hidden controllers and what is sad is we would be lost without them, so we march in lockstep to their tune.
“we?”
Reality.
It’s a bitch.
Sounds like all of those jags got taken to the wood shed!
And now, apparently, he’ll do a “deal” that freezes everything where it is. Huh?? Wonder what’s going on??
I think these people are all crazy and deranged. The EU does not have the money, the weapons or the military to battle Russia. The Ukraine does not have half a country with electricity and cannot use their one port area to ship any produce out. Neither do they have enough money, weapons or military to battle Russia. The Ukraine is toast and the EU is on its way to being toast. I base these remarks on many the remarks of many pundits, none of whom are on mainstream media.
I consider it aa waste of time to even listen to these nut cases. Please do not respond with, “what about all the drones the Ukrainians are sending into Russia!”
Zelenskyy is CASTRO LIT but same kind of Dictator begging for handouts.
It looks like everyone was wearing their “Depends” because it is obvious they had the crap scared out of them.
I told my wife imagine being a young man, a fit handsome young man, living in Ukraine and all those women wanting children, but short on men. That young man would literally be put out for stud.
