Trump - Zelenskyy White House Meeting: 3 Critical Issues to Watch on Monday - Adam Kinzinger



Donald Trump is set to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House on Monday, a meeting that could shape the future of the war in Ukraine. Adam Kinzinger breaks down the 3 critical issues to watch:

1️⃣ Territorial Lines – Will Trump pressure Zelenskyy to concede land to Russia?

2️⃣ Ceasefire vs. Peace Deal – Is Trump walking back his own demand for a ceasefire?

3️⃣ Europe’s Role – Will European leaders stand with Zelenskyy if Trump doesn’t?

From Putin’s demands on Donetsk and Luhansk to Europe’s resolve in supporting Ukraine, this meeting could be one of the most consequential since World War II.


👉 Watch for the stakes, the risks, and what it means for Ukraine, Russia, and the West. - 08/17/2025.

I (kind of) wish Finland or Poland had nukes as deterrence. Hell, I wish Ukraine hadn't been bamboozled with broken promises that led them to give up theirs.

Nuclear deterrence seems to be the only thing that gives Putin pause (and I'm not so sure as he gets older and more vulnerable that even THAT will).
