Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) accused Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky of using a drone strike to “sabotage” Friday’s peace talks between President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Ukraine launched an attack on Russia on Thursday, killing at least one person and injuring over a dozen more — a day before President Trump departed for the high-stakes meeting in Anchorage, Alaska.
“On the eve of the historic peace talks between President Trump and President Putin, Zelensky does this,” Greene wrote in a post on social platform X. “Zelensky doesn’t want peace and obviously is trying to sabotage President Trump’s heroic efforts to end the war in Ukraine.”
She added, “I pray peace prevails!”
The meeting at an Air Force base just outside Anchorage, Alaska marked Putin’s first trip to the U.S. in a decade.
The leaders sat down for a one-on-one talk around 3:30 p.m. EDT, followed by a larger gathering and then a press conference.
Trump on Thursday said he’ll know minutes into the summit whether it’ll be “a good meeting or a bad meeting,” suggesting that the latter would end talks between the two leaders “very quickly.”
Later on Friday, Trump said he wouldn’t be negotiating for Ukraine at his summit in Alaska with Putin, while claiming the Russian leader would have taken all of Ukraine if he wasn’t in the Oval Office. (RELATED: Ukraine Will Not Cede Land, Zelensky Insists Ahead Of Trump-Putin Summit)
“Vladimir Putin wanted to take all of Ukraine. If I wasn’t president, he would right now be taking all of Ukraine,” Trump told reporters, speaking from Air Force One en route to Alaska.
“But he’s not going to do it.”
Asked if territory swaps were on the table, Trump said that would be up to Kyiv.
“They’ll be discussed, but I’ve got to let Ukraine make that decision. And I think they’ll make a proper decision. But I’m not here to negotiate for Ukraine. I’m here to get them at a table,” Trump said.

We have spent enough money on this. This is a European problem with something that smells to the high heavens. There are just too many links between the Ukraine, other countries, and the Dee State to be ignored. Time to bow out of this European problem.
I’m sure that Zelensky is still listening to Democrats who encourage him to “resist” Trump. “Hey! We’re here for ya!” Dems do not care about the continuing bloodshed and destruction.
Does Russia do same or China YES
*Stephen Russell * how about you, (I surmise your American), either ally yourself with a side in this very destructive Eastern European war—, (I would guess your brokering on Ukraine), or start popularizing the notion that THIS is NOT a conflict that America has ANY business being involved IN! Both Represented ‘leaders’ of the belligerent nations, (V. Zelensky, + V. Putin), are hardened, stubborn, conceited dictators, (yes…I do NOT believe V. Zelensky or his party were elected with Fidelity). I am among the many, (multiplying), number of War ‘weary’ and global economic strife/conflict ‘weary’ Americans who proposes this nation go back to its more isolationist past, (1910’s to 1928), then being used as a backups— ‘Treasury’ to self-destruction European organizations.
