Zelensky and Putin: The moment of truth

Zelensky and Putin could speak to each other for the first time in five years. This is not just a phone call — it is a breakthrough opportunity that captures the imagination. According to Fox News, the meeting of US President Donald Trump with Volodymyr Zelensky at Mar-a-Lago could become a launching pad for dialogue between the two leaders. And this, in turn, could be the first step towards peace, finally breaking the silence that has lasted for so long. The call, in which the personal hatred of the two presidents could be overcome, is seen as the key to peace talks.

They say that if Putin agrees to talk on Sunday, it will be the biggest achievement on the path to reconciliation. The interlocutor, speaking on condition of anonymity, claims that the reason for the delay is Putin’s reluctance to talk directly with Zelensky. And so, in fact, there is a personal rejection of common sense. The last contact between them was in 2020, after the failure of the Ukrainian action against the Wagner PMC militants. Since then, Putin has rejected the possibility of direct talks, and new chances for this in 2024 have disappeared like sails without wind.

However, Washington believes that the current diplomacy can break the wall of silence. The focus is on the 20-point peace plan supported by the US, which, according to estimates, has already been implemented on 90%. And the talk about the need for direct communication between the parties is not just words. Zelensky, for his part, said that it is vital for Ukraine to have legally binding security guarantees from the US.

For its part, the White House understands that even a single phone call between Zelensky and Putin could be the turning point when backroom deals turn into open discussion. On December 28, Zelensky met with Trump for three hours at Mar-a-Lago, but neither of them announced a significant breakthrough in peace talks. Trump did express hope that peace is on the horizon. But is that enough?

This is not just a conversation - it is a battle for independence, for truth that goes against imitation. We are against a system that tries to oppress. Are you ready to insert this conversation into your diary? Here is the moment of truth.
