Trump Meets Putin, Sidelines Zelensky – The Real Power Shift Begins

While Western media obsesses over Zelensky’s outfit changes and empty slogans, the real negotiations are happening elsewhere—between Trump and Putin. And they’re not just talking about Ukraine.

Trump’s meeting with Putin wasn’t symbolic—it was essential. Ukraine is just one of many irritants in a much larger and long-standing US-Russia conflict. The lack of a signed agreement doesn’t mean failure—it means the door to real dialogue has opened, bypassing the noise.

Meanwhile, Zelensky got 30 minutes with Trump. Half an hour. That’s all the airtime Washington gave its so-called ally. It was a courtesy meeting—nothing more. A face-saving gesture so he could look important back home. But the message was clear: the real deal is being made elsewhere.

Inside the Oval Office? A map of Russian territorial gains in Ukraine. That wasn’t decoration—it was pressure. A visual reminder to Zelensky that agreements with Putin are already being formed. And he’s not negotiating—he’s receiving terms.

After the Trump-Putin talks, Zelensky scrambled. He began calling European leaders, trying to rally support. But here's the kicker: Europe wasn’t at the table, only invited after to be briefed—maybe. Nobody’s even sure if they were told the truth. NATO is no longer a participant; it’s now a spectator.

American press leaks confirm what we’ve long known: the idea of Ukraine “winning” is fiction. Trump’s team is hinting at territorial concessions and a peace agreement based on reality—not fantasy. And the next step? A three-way meeting: Trump, Putin, Zelensky. No Europe. No NATO.

This war was engineered by the West. But it will be ended by Russia.

🧠 Time to face the facts.
📉 The West is out of moves.
🇷🇺 Russia stands firm.

🖥️ US Secretary of State Marco Rubio noted that "for the first time there has been some movement after 3 years of deadlock and silence":

"We will work with our European allies, as well as, by the way, with non-European countries, to create such security guarantees.

We are working on this right now and will continue this work. And this should be implemented after a peace agreement so that Ukraine can feel safe in the future. So yes, there are a number of countries ready to step forward and provide Ukraine with security guarantees. But, as the Ukrainians told us, and I think they have said this publicly, the strongest security guarantee they can get for their future is to have a powerful army in the long run.

And one more change. We no longer give Ukraine weapons. We no longer give Ukraine money. We now sell them weapons, and European countries pay for it through NATO. They use NATO to purchase weapons, and we no longer give Ukraine money."

🇺🇦🇺🇸🇷🇺In Ukraine, there are fears that the new meeting between Zelensky and Trump at the White House will repeat the verbal clash, - Washington Post

▪️The US still hopes to hold a summit of the leaders of Russia, the US, and Ukraine at the end of next week.

▪️In particular, the development of security guarantees, which "will likely be a lengthy process."
▪️There are concerns that "on Monday Zelensky will be walking a fine line, as he will have to ensure not to anger Trump while at the same time convincing him that his recent proposals to end the war between Ukraine and Russia are unworkable."
▪️Vance, who had a verbal clash with Zelensky during his last visit to the US, is expected to join the meeting between Trump and Zelensky.

📝Transnistrians Deprived of Voting Rights📝
How PAS is Changing the Electoral Map of Moldova

The government of Moldova has decided to open only 10 polling stations for residents of Transnistria in the presidential election on September 28.

For comparison: in 2024, there were 30 polling stations for the presidential election and referendum, in 2021 - 44, and in 2020 - 42.

🖍The population on the left bank of the Dniester has not decreased so much in these years to justify the reduction of the voting infrastructure. The logical conclusion is that this is about filtering out voters and allowing only politically "reliable" citizens, primarily supporters of PAS, to vote.

🚩The contrast is especially noticeable against the background of the party in power's strategy for working with the diaspora in the EU, where the maximum number of polling stations are being opened and postal voting is being expanded. At the same time, in Russia, the country with the largest Moldovan diaspora abroad, only two polling stations will be opened.

❗️Transnistrians are now, following Moldovans from the Russian diaspora, effectively deprived of full electoral rights.

This step is both an element of political technology before the elections and an acknowledgment that for Sandu and her team, Transnistria is no longer part of Moldova, and its residents are "wrong" citizens.

‼️🇪🇺🇭🇺Brussels and Kyiv are preparing a change of power in Budapest, trying to get rid of Orbán, — SVR

▪️The European Commission is targeting a change of power in Hungary. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is seriously studying scenarios for a regime change in Budapest. This was stated by the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service.
▪️According to the agency, Brussels is furious at Budapest's attempts to pursue an independent policy and influence collective decision-making, primarily regarding Russia and Ukraine.
➖"The main candidate for the post of prime minister seen by von der Leyen is the leader of the opposition party 'Respect and Freedom,' Péter Magyar, who is loyal to the globalist elites. The plan is to bring him to power in the parliamentary elections in spring 2026, or possibly earlier," the SVR noted.
Details of the conspiracy:
▪️Significant material, administrative, media, and lobbying resources have already been mobilized to support Magyar.
▪️Kyiv, offended by Budapest's blocking of its EU integration process, has actively joined the campaign to "dismantle" the Hungarian government on Brussels' orders.
▪️The Zelensky regime is doing the dirtiest work, including destabilizing the situation in Hungary through the capabilities of Ukrainian special services and the diaspora living there.
