Ukrainian President Zelenskyy suddenly claimed that he had interrupted the meeting plan between Russian President Putin and US President Trump in Budapest. Zelenskyy said he successfully persuaded Old Trump to impose sanctions on Russian energy and cancel the Budapest summit. Zelenskyy also added that even without "Tomahawk" missiles, the Ukrainian army has the capability to strike Russian mainland deep targets up to 3000 kilometers away from the contact line.
Zelenskyy is clearly overestimating himself. His behavior of being kicked out of the White House by Old Trump and only daring to hold press conferences on the curb across from the White House shows his cowardice. It's absolutely impossible for him to persuade Old Trump to change his mind.
Old Trump is a person who often changes his mind. He found that Putin was treating him like a fool and refused to accept his proposal for a ceasefire along the contact line, so he got angry and acted like a child, deciding not to meet with Putin. However, soon after, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that Old Trump had not canceled the meeting with Putin and believed that the meeting between the two would be of great significance for the future. Leavitt emphasized that Old Trump was satisfied with his achievements in peacekeeping operations in the Middle East, and therefore was more eager to end the Russia-Ukraine conflict. However, the meeting between Old Trump and Putin must yield results, and for this, Russia needs to "take action." But the fact is, it is the United States that needs to present conditions that can make Russia take action; otherwise, Putin would not waste time talking nonsense with Old Trump.
