Russian President Vladimir Putin said he is willing to meet with his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky in Moscow, CNN reports.

Said Putin: “Donald asked me if it was possible to hold such a meeting. I said yes, it is possible. In the end, if Zelensky is ready, let him come to Moscow. Such a meeting will take place.”

The headlines "Trump found dead in Zelensky costume after Putin plot" has a nice ring to it.

I don't consider Dubai to be neutral territory given their relationship with drumpf.

I don't think that moves the neutral ground thing.

Bangkok is just a few more hrs to the East.

Sure. President Zelenskyy will rush right over to Moscow for a cup of plutonium or take in a nice view falling from a window. Maybe he'll be escorted to Alexei Navalny's old prison cell for an extended visit.

What a worthless little criminal punk.

Assassination attempts on Volodymyr Zelenskyy

According to Ukrainian government officials and news sources, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy has survived dozens of assassination and kidnapping attempts by Russian or pro-Russian agents during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, including at least three that were foiled by Ukrainian security services.
...
During the conflict there were conflicting accounts of the number of assassination attempts made against Zelenskyy. Presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak referenced the issue while speaking to the Ukrainian Pravda news outlet, saying, "Our foreign partners are talking about two or three attempts. I believe that there were more than a dozen attempts".

In addition, on Saturday, 26 February 2022, an assassination attempt by a group of Chechen mercenaries was prevented on the outskirts of Kyiv with the would-be assassins killed.

In early March 2022, the head of Ukraine's National Security Council, Oleksiy Danilov, said that Zelenskyy had survived three assassination attempts in one week. Danilov credited the aid of anti-war intelligence officers within Russia's FSB who shared information with Ukrainian forces about the planned attacks by two groups of assassins from Chechnya.

"Donald asked me . . ." I can't recall any foreign leader calling our President by his first name.

And come face to face with the Nazi Gestapo and SS?

They didn't trust Hitler any further than they could throw him.
