Looks like the meeting with Zelenskyy was a good one. Trump now backs Ukraineās 1991 borders instead of offering up Crimea to Putin.

This is interesting: Zelenskyy: āI am very grateful to Trump. I cannot share the details right now. Trump possesses very important information regarding the situation at the front.ā

Just as an aside on this: I understand Antifa isnāt an organisation and it seems like Stupid Trump. But I feel the next step will be for the regime to define who or what is Antifa. The parameters are specifically vague so anyone Trump doesnāt like can be branded a terrorist.
