Zelenskyy blew up this meeting at the behest of globalist elites — Rice, Nuland, Blinken and others — who are desperate to keep this war going.
"For example, we know that Putin will sign no cease-fire where the U.S. either has troops in Ukraine or is obligated by treaty to put them there."

. . ."Over the weekend the New York Post’s Michael Goodwin shed even more light on why, 40 minutes into a 53-minute press avail that was going very amicably and cruising into completion of a half-trillion-dollar mineral rights deal which would have created the circumstances for peace between Ukraine and Russia, everything blew up.
A common criticism of Volodymyr Zelensky’s disastrous Friday performance in the Oval Office is that he failed to read the room.
Actually, the Ukrainian president did read a room — but it was the wrong room.
Before meeting Trump, Zelensky met with anti-Trump Democrats who advised him to reject the terms of the mineral deal the president was offering, according to Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.).
“Just finished a meeting with President Zelensky here in Washington. He confirmed that the Ukrainian people will not support a fake peace agreement where Putin gets everything he wants and there are no security arrangements for Ukraine,” Murphy’s office posted on X at 11:15 a.m. Friday.
He attached a picture of Zelensky at a conference table, with Murphy seated on the opposite side.
Forty minutes later, Zelensky arrived at the White House, where Trump met his car, smiled, shook his hand and walked him into the Oval Office.
The meeting, as the world now knows, quickly went off the rails and ended with Trump angrily ejecting the arrogant ingrate from the White House.
The earlier meeting with Dems undercuts wild claims that Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance staged an ambush. In fact, it was Zelensky who came with an ulterior motive.
The purpose of the meeting was to sign the mineral agreement he and Trump representatives had negotiated. He had twice refused to sign it after promising to, and thanks to Murphy, we now know he had no intention of signing it Friday.
By listening to the nakedly partisan advice of Dems instead of dealing forthrightly with the current president, Zelensky betrayed his countrymen and, for now at least, leaves them without the military and diplomatic protection that only America can provide.
"By Sunday, Zelenskyy had traveled to London and secured a commitment for, not a half-trillion dollars in aid for his country, but … $3 billion.
"And in the meantime he had issued repeated messages on X claiming his “readiness” to sign the mineral rights deal with the U.S. but maintaining his demand for security guarantees."...
