According to Xinhua News Agency, the Russian Foreign MinisterLavrovOn the 22nd, it was stated that the meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Zelensky has not yet been included in the agenda, but Putin is willing to meet with Zelensky after the meeting agenda is determined.

According to the Associated Press, US President Trump said on the 22nd that if direct negotiations cannot be arranged, he expects to decide the next step within two weeks. He raised the possibility of new sanctions or tariffs on Russia. Trump has raised this threat before, but has not yet acted on it.

"I'm going to make a decision on what we're going to do next, and it's going to be a very important decision, whether to impose massive sanctions, impose high tariffs, or do both, or do nothing and just say 'It's your own business,'" Trump said.

The Associated Press and Reuters believe that this move shows that Trump is disappointed and dissatisfied with Moscow a week after his meeting with Putin in Alaska.

Trump met with Zelensky and some European leaders at the White House on the 18th, and also had a phone call with Putin. Trump said at the time that he had begun preparations for the meeting between Putin and Zelensky. The outside world believes that this has increased hopes that the Russian and Ukrainian leaders may hold peace talks directly.

However, Zelensky accused Russia of delaying on the 21st and "trying to avoid the meeting." At the same time, Russia also said that Ukraine did not seem interested in long-term peace, accusing Kiev of seeking security guarantees that were completely inconsistent with Moscow's demands.

Lavrov said in a program of NBC News on the 22nd that Trump put forward some views that Russia agreed with when he met with Putin in Alaska, and Russia agreed to remain flexible on some issues. At the same time, he said that when Zelensky met Trump in Washington a few days ago, he rejected the principles in Trump's proposed solution. "Zelensky said'no 'to some principles that the US believes need to be accepted, including not joining NATO and territorial issues."

The picture shows Trump's portrait

Anger is Trump's background, but he has a love-hate relationship recently.

When it comes to the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, he has been very proud recently. In the words of European leaders who flatter him, he has done more peace work in the past three months than in the past three and a half years in the world.

In a word,It has to be Trump.

But he was even angrier.

Putin saw it, Zelensky saw it, European leaders saw it, and they all said it well, but when these guys went back, they immediately ignored his words and did what they could.

Alas, there is always a realistic gap between power and promise.

This is exactly what Hegel warned: "The only lesson that mankind has learned from history is that it cannot learn anything from history."

Ukrainians were red-eyed. According to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, Ukrainian drone forces deliberately attacked the Russian "friendship" oil pipeline before Trump and Putin met in Alaska.

Attacking Russian targets is true, but the big stick hits Hungary and Slovakia.

Hungarian Prime Minister victor orban wrote a "complaint letter" to Trump

The "Friendship" oil pipeline is the lifeline of oil in Hungary and Slovakia.

More recently, though, Ukraine has been at loggerheads with the pipeline, with drone strikes that, according to Hungary, have temporarily halted oil shipments, although the pipeline was repaired at one point.

Outraged, Mr. Orban released his "letter of complaint" to Mr. Trump on Aug. 22, saying that the "friendship" pipeline was of great importance to Hungary and Slovakia and that he was unhappy about the Ukraine attack.

"Hungary supplied Ukraine with electricity and gasoline, and they responded by blowing up the pipeline that fed us. It was a very unfriendly move."Orban told Trump.

I turned my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shone on the ditch.

Trump was furious and immediately wrote a reply by hand.

"Viktor, I am very unhappy to hear this, I am very angry about it. Please also tell Slovakia my attitude. You are my good friend."

I really didn't say it, in black and white, it's really Trump's "imperial pen"!

Cartoons of Trump, Zelensky and Putin

Looking at the time announced by Orban, it is very likely that Trump's reply came after he met with Zelensky and others at the White House.

Trump's meaning is clear,.

1. I am very unhappy and angry about such an attack in Ukraine.

2. Hungary and Slovakia, you are my good friends.

Trump's anger lies in his desire to promote peace in Russia and Ukraine, hoping to win the Nobel Peace Prize, while Zelensky is tearing down his power, even ruthlessly targeting his good friend.

It's reversed, it's reversed.

Therefore, it was too late to print, so I immediately wrote a letter by hand and sent it to Orban.

For Zelensky, Trump has no good color; For Putin, Trump has more complicated feelings.

He also hates, hates Russia for confiscating its hands.

According to Ukraine, on the night of August 20-21, Russia launched 574 drones and 40 missiles into Ukraine, the most since mid-July.

The Russian attack also blew up an American factory.

Trump was angry. He told reporters on August 22nd,I am very unhappy, "Putin's hatred is very strong"!

But while saying he was not happy, he proudly showed off to reporters a photo of himself and Putin, thinking it was a great photo, and he wanted to sign it for him.

He also announced that Putin is likely to want to come to the United States to watch the World Cup.

Next to him, Vice President Vance was giggling, while the White House reporters were dumbfounded.

Trump, do you approve of Putin? Or are you criticizing Putin?

Regardless, Trump declared himself: "We will wait and see. I think in two weeks, we will know what I will do."

How to do it?

Trump revealed that it was possible that he announced "large-scale sanctions" or did nothing, and said that "maybe it's your turn to make a decision".

I see that the reaction of many Americans is that they can't understand. Trump, what kind of medicine are you selling in your gourd?

It feels like Trump may not even think about it himself.

Tolstoy predicted it in War and Peace: "The hardest thing in the world is to know yourself clearly and where you are."

Finally, what do you think?

Let's say three superficial points.

First, Trump is really having a headache now.

This is also understandable. Before taking office, Trump vowed more than once to get Russia and Ukraine to cease fire immediately within 24 hours after he took office. But 200 days later, the two sides are still fighting.

It became Trump's biggest joke.

This is also regarded by Trump as the biggest obstacle to winning the Nobel Peace Prize.

Therefore, Trump is angry about saying one thing and doing another to both sides.

Yours is too unauthentic, why can't we have a good discussion?

Second, Trump also has true love.

Then there's no need to say more.

Many sincere feelings and body language can't be hidden.

We are all close allies, our seven bosses went to the White House collectively, but Trump didn't come to the door to greet them; Putin went to Alaska, American soldiers rolled out the red carpet, and Trump personally greeted him at the airport.

In this world, without contrast, there is no harm.

Third, it is not ruled out that there is unfinished work.

Now, signs of unfinished work have appeared.

Trump is eager to promote the tripartite talks between the United States, Russia and Ukraine. The United States is very active and the world is looking forward to it, but Russia and Ukraine are both active and hesitant.

The words are very positive, they all support them with both hands, and they all praise Trump's peace efforts.

However, there are many small actions. Ukraine has stressed that there will be no land exchange, Ukraine must be guaranteed security, and the Ukrainian army has launched various attacks on Russian targets.

Naturally, the Russian army will not rest, and the battle is getting more and more fierce. Russia also "complained" to Trump: Zelensky rejected all your reconciliation plans, how can we talk?

Europeans jumped up and down in all kinds, which made Trump lose his head.

One moment, he said that he would give Ukraine long-range weapons to counter the Russian "invaders"; the other moment, he scolded Ukraine, and your attack made him very angry.

In addition, he posted a photo of his index finger facing Putin on his front foot to show his strength; on his back foot, he posted a photo with Putin, saying he would also sign it for him.

The whole world was stunned, Trump, Trump, what kind of medicine are you selling in the gourd? Have you figured out what to do? You still step on watermelon rind - where is the slide?
