    .... the Soviets also agreeing.

    Remind me again why the POTUS Biden Team couldn't get at least this far?

    I’m so very happy to see this. I’m glad Zelenskyy came to his senses and now I hope Putin will come to his and end this war immediately!

    I’ll let the liberals answer your question as to why Biden couldn’t have done this. Liberals, please chime in….

    Blessed be the peacemakers.

    The Event may have to share airtime with the scheduled 6:00 PM Splashdown, though, meaning certain TDS Media outlets will not report any TRUMP encouraging News.

    The conversation may not be reported by the liberal Trump-hating networks, but FOX News just posted this:

    President Donald Trump spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin for at least 90 minutes Tuesday about ending the war in Ukraine, the White House said, noting that the two leaders agreed that "negotiations will begin immediately in the Middle East."

    The two leaders also agreed to a ceasefire against energy infrastructure, both sides said. Trump described the call as "very good and productive" on Truth Social.

    "Many elements of a Contract for Peace were discussed, including the fact that thousands of soldiers are being killed, and both President Putin and President Zelenskyy would like to see it end," Trump wrote on social media. "That process is now in full force and effect, and we will, hopefully, for the sake of Humanity, get the job done!"

    The call began at 10 a.m. ET, according to White House spokesman Dan Scavino. The White House then said around 12:52 p.m. that the call was over, though it would not say initially exactly when each side hung up.

    "Today, President Trump and President Putin spoke about the need for peace and a ceasefire in the Ukraine war. Both leaders agreed this conflict needs to end with a lasting peace," the White House said in a statement after the call. "They also stressed the need for improved bilateral relations between the United States and Russia. The blood and treasure that both Ukraine and Russia have been spending in this war would be better spent on the needs of their people.

    "This conflict should never have started and should have been ended long ago with sincere and good faith peace efforts. The leaders agreed that the movement to peace will begin with an energy and infrastructure ceasefire, as well as technical negotiations on implementation of a maritime ceasefire in the Black Sea, full ceasefire and permanent peace," it continued. "These negotiations will begin immediately in the Middle East."

    "The leaders spoke broadly about the Middle East as a region of potential cooperation to prevent future conflicts. They further discussed the need to stop proliferation of strategic weapons and will engage with others to ensure the broadest possible application. The two leaders shared the view that Iran should never be in a position to destroy Israel," the White House also said. "The two leaders agreed that a future with an improved bilateral relationship between the United States and Russia has huge upside. This includes enormous economic deals and geopolitical stability when peace has been achieved."

    During the call, Putin said a complete cessation of military aid to Ukraine was a key condition for ending the war, Russia's state-run TASS news agency reported, citing the Kremlin.

    Putin backed the idea from Trump of a mutual 30-day pause of strikes on energy infrastructure and gave that command to his military, according to TASS. It also reported that Russia will return 23 seriously wounded Ukrainian soldiers to Kyiv as a gesture of goodwill.

    Trump said last night that "Many elements of a Final Agreement" to end the Ukraine war "have been agreed to, but much remains."

    State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce said Monday that "the ball is now in Russia's court" to accept a U.S.-proposed ceasefire deal that Ukraine agreed to last week.

    The U.S.-backed proposal, which includes an immediate 30-day ceasefire and guaranteed resumption of U.S. military aid and intelligence to Ukraine, was finalized during diplomatic talks in Saudi Arabia last week.

    The last time Trump and Putin spoke was in mid-February.

    "I just had a lengthy and highly productive phone call with President Vladimir Putin of Russia. We discussed Ukraine, the Middle East, Energy, Artificial Intelligence, the power of the Dollar, and various other subjects," Trump said at the time.

    "We both reflected on the Great History of our Nations, and the fact that we fought so successfully together in World War II, remembering, that Russia lost tens of millions of people, and we, likewise, lost so many!" Trump continued.

    "We each talked about the strengths of our respective Nations, and the great benefit that we will someday have in working together. But first, as we both agreed, we want to stop the millions of deaths taking place in the War with Russia/Ukraine," he also said.

    It is a start, and a good ice breaker.

    The Hockey conversation is titillating, also.

    About halfway through there is a paragraph where Putin states that ending military aid was a key condition to ending the war…… Three paragraphs later it states the US backed proposal will include a 30-day ceasefire and and immediate resumption of military aid…… Am I reading a roadblock to peace here?

    toughcoins Rarely is the liberal viewpoint tainted by realism

    I suspect it's a roadblock to cogent writing . . .
