How Trump’s blind belief in Putin’s lies could derail Ukraine peace talks

1. [Donald Trump’s](https://inews.co.uk/topic/donald-trump?ico=in-line_link) unquestioning belief in [Vladimir Putin’s](https://inews.co.uk/topic/vladimir-putin?ico=in-line_link) claims about [Ukraine](https://inews.co.uk/topic/ukraine?ico=in-line_link) threatens to [derail peace talks](https://inews.co.uk/news/world/ukraine-peace-talks-continue-but-latest-strikes-show-putins-true-motive-4076094?ico=in-line_link) once again after the US President appeared to side with [Russia](https://inews.co.uk/topic/russia?ico=in-line_link) in a spat over an alleged attack on a presidential palace.

   Russian foreign minister [Sergei Lavrov](https://inews.co.uk/topic/sergei-lavrov?srsltid=AfmBOoqPMlgxuv2TKAY3H-bct9EIgtb_KHa417q-65NS5x7wemzo7zXM&ico=in-line_link) claimed that 91 long-range drones were shot down over one of Putin’s residences, saying [Russia’s position in peace talks would “be revised”](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/ukraine-zelensky-russia-putin-resident-peace-talks-trump-b2891660.html) as a result. He did not provide any evidence for the alleged attack.

   The residence lies on the shores of Lake Valdai, in the Novgorod region of north-western Russia.

   Kyiv has denied claims that it was behind any attack, with Volodymyr Zelensky saying the claim was a “complete fabrication” designed to justify further attacks on Ukraine and undermine peace talks.

   Residents of Valdai said they had not heard or seen any signs of a large-scale drone attack on Monday, according to independent media. Fourteen residents told Mozhem Obyasnit, a pro-democracy organisation based outside Russia, that they had received no text alerts warning of a drone attack, nor seen anything resembling an attack.

   But [Trump criticised Ukraine over the incident](https://inews.co.uk/opinion/putin-exposed-trumps-weakness-for-world-to-see-4139610?ico=in-line_link), saying it left him “very angry”.

   “You know who told me about it? President Putin, early in the morning, he said he was attacked. It’s no good,” he told reporters outside his Mar-a-Lago home after a phone call with Putin.

   “It’s a delicate period of time. This is not the right time. It’s one thing to be offensive because they’re offensive. It’s another thing to attack his house. It’s not the right time to do any of that.”

   The palace attack allegations come shortly after US and Ukraine agreed some key peace terms during crunch talks in Florida this weekend.

2. Its just wild that Trump can now easily see Putin lied about that – and how obviously desperate Putin is… how bad his position is, that he has to try and pop that in to scuttle any meeting with Ukraine. How is Trump, from even his horrible take that he only cares about strength, not see how weak Putin is now?

3. Derailed? These talks never left the station.

4. This is just spontaneous lie from Kremlin to derail any ongoing diplomatic attempt and try to shape the narrative with Russia being the victim. Again.

   But I must say, Russia is being to really modest and unimaginative on this one. What happen to the CIA-Biden made super mutants? The genetically engineered mosquitos? The 69420th Globalist-Soros-Homogay battalions? The perfidious Albion and their wily MI6 spies?

   Now its just “dron attac bad uWu 🙁 “.

5. This is not journalism. ‘The i Paper’ is not a news outlet; it is increasingly resembling low-grade propaganda. ‘Putin lies blah blah’ is not an appropriate title for a news article. Real news would be something like ‘Alleged Ukrainian attack could derail negotiations.’ You have zero evidence to claim that Russia is lying and Ukraine is telling the truth. What we read here is not news—it is your preference, or your bias, if you want a more straightforward definition. I think this outlet should be banned from r/geopolitics. It brings zero value to the table.

6. Trump is an absolute moron and complete piece of shit! I really can’t wait until he FINALLY dies and truth comes out about ALL the compromising materials Russia has on him that turned this pedophile into Putin’s fat little bi*ch!

7. Dangles a gold brick in front of Hr. Trump. promising some aluminum bricks to Hr. Elon, reminding them of some compromising footage, and already sold Ukrainian land to Hr. Kushner and Hr. Witkoff three times over via sham bitcoins…
   What Ukrainian piece ?

8. Not to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but we do know that Epstein had ties to Sergey Belyakov, a former Russian deputy minister and a graduate of the FSB Academy. We also know that Epstein used Russian banks for large wire transfers, some as large as $100 million. I find it very hard to believe that the Russians don’t have some serious dirt on Trump.
