Zelenskyy agrees to Trump-Putin meeting without cease-fire, but will Kremlin dictator go along?
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
I’m with President Trump: «There’s no deal until there’s a deal.»
And now that he has changed his stance and is openly siding with Vladimir Putin, despite vehement objections from Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who visited the White House yesterday, a deal seems rather elusive.
Putin’s interest in peace is underscored by his continued bombardment of Ukraine, the country he illegally invaded, with the latest round killing 10 people. Which is to say the Kremlin dictator has no conceivable interest in peace, except on his maximalist terms.
Look, I’m rooting for Trump. If he can somehow square the circle of this brutal and bloody war, and bring things to an end, he will deserve the Nobel Peace Prize. And Hillary said she’d nominate him.
HERE IS THE ‘BIGGEST DIFFERENCE’ BETWEEN ZELENSKYY’S TWO WHITE HOUSE VISITS
But the negative reviews of the Alaska sitdown has rankled Trump and prompted him to lash out at Fake News on Truth Social:
«If we had the Summit elsewhere, the Democrat run and controlled media would have said what a terrible thing THAT was. These people are sick!»
Okay, he doesn’t like the press. Except we now know, thanks to his in-flight comments to Fox’s Bret Baier, that he enjoys the sparring, likening it to a golf game. The reporters are all trying to get him to make a mistake. If he makes no breaking news, he wins. If he does say something that’s breaking news, he didn’t put the ball in the hole and they’ve got him.

I watched Sunday morning as Zelenskyy and top European officials said only Russia can end the war and that Ukraine would not be surrendering the Donbas region, home to more than 200,000 people.
As Gen. Wesley Clark told me on «Media Buzz,» once you get past the Donbas region, it’s a «straight shot» to Kyiv, so the brave Ukrainians, who have held off the far bigger Russian war machine, would be defenseless.
It’s mildly encouraging that media reports say Putin has accepted the need for security forces to protect Ukraine, meaning the Europeans – and the U.S. – would send troops for a peacekeeping unit.
When special envoy Steve Witkoff, who was in the room during the Putin session, was asked about Trump’s change of position, I thought he’d deny it, but he didn’t. That confirms the stories are true, and certainly complicates matters.
TRUMP SPARS WITH EUROPEAN LEADER DURING UKRAINE TALKS OVER KEY STEP TO PEACE
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said over the weekend that Trump «said himself that a ceasefire was his absolute most important and highest priority. So, it was a joint demand, which isn’t happening now. We would have indeed hoped for a cease-fire first. The Russian side was obviously unwilling to do that.»
So what exactly is Putin giving up? Nothing, as far as I can see. Every day without a cease-fire is another day that the indicted war criminal gets to cement his battlefield gains.
And, under these circumstances, Trump expects Ukraine’s president to join in a trilateral meeting with him and Putin?
Responding to Fox’s Peter Doocy, Trump said: «I think if everything works out well today, we’ll have a trilat and I think there will be a reasonable chance of ending the war when we do that.»

Zelenskyy, who repeatedly praised Trump–he wasn’t going to make the same mistake twice after getting kicked out of the White House following his meltdown back in February–reminded reporters that «we live under, each day, attacks. You know, that today have been a lot of attacks and a lot of wounded people. And the child was dead, small one, one year and half.
«So we need to stop this war, to stop Russia. And we need to support American and European partners that will do our best, for this. So, and I think we show that we are strong people and we supported the idea of the united system of personnel, President Trump to stop this war, to make a diplomatic way of finishing this war. And we are ready for trilateral as presidents.»
BACK FROM ALASKA, TRUMP STARTS WEEK WITH CRUCIAL FOREIGN POLICY TALKS OVER UKRAINE WAR
Now that stunned me. He’s willing to sit down with Putin and Trump after insisting on a cease-fire first – which was also the president’s position until he flipped and abandoned it after the sitdown with the indicted war criminal?
So what was the mood afterward?
«I’m optimistic that collectively we can reach an agreement that would deter any future aggression against Ukraine,» Trump said. He added, «I have a feeling you and President Putin are going to work something out.»

(Alexander Drago/Reuters)
Zelenskyy «praised the constructive specific meeting,» adding: «There is a lot of people in prison. So we need them back and guarantees which will work for the years. We spoke about it and I showed president a lot of details on the battlefield, on the map.»
But will Putin, who views Zelenskyy as an illegitimate leader, attend?
All the chatter about the red carpet and other atmospherics is meaningless. Yes, Zelenskyy wore a suit, albeit a military-style one.
We should all be rooting for Trump. Even if he falls short, and the war drags on, it can only end with a negotiated settlement.

At one point, Trump broke away from the session and called Putin, rather than waiting till afterwards.
Trump posted that this was «a very good early step,» and early may be the operative word. The war could certainly drag on. But it can’t end on the battlefield. We wouldn’t have gotten this far without Trump’s unique preference for leader-to-leader talks, even though he’s now openly siding with Vladimir Putin. Sometimes that produces results and sometimes it doesn’t, as with Kim Jong-un. But it’s given him – and us – a shot.

Violencia en el fútbol de Maldonado: un jugador fue imputado tras darle cabezazo a juez que le voló los dientes
El fútbol en el departamento de Maldonado volvió a ser noticia en Uruguay por terminar con incidentes.
Hace unos 20 días, un partido de la tercera división de Maldonado terminó con graves incidentes tras el golpe de cabeza de uno de los futbolistas de San Lorenzo contra el árbitro del partido Alexis Ferreira. El juez terminó con heridas en su boca y hasta perdió piezas dentales, al tiempo que el agresor debió ir a declarar este lunes a la Fiscalía y probablemente termine imputado por la agresión.
Ferreira, el árbitro del encuentro, contó entonces a la radio local Cadena del Mar que la agresión se dio al final del partido, después de que decidiera expulsar a dos jugadores que se acercaron a insultarlo. Durante el partido el ambiente ya había estado espeso: uno de los jugadores se había ido encima de él luego de una tarjeta amarilla. “Perdí piezas dentales, tuve mucha sangre y me sentí mareado. Fue muy fuerte”, señaló.
El agresor fue imputado este lunes por el delito de lesiones personales. Como medidas cautelares, se le impuso la prohibición de salir del país, de participar en actividades deportivas y de acercarse a menos de 500 metros de la víctima durante 120 días.
La abogada del futbolista, Karen Pintos, expresó tras la audiencia que su defendido “está dispuesto a colaborar” con los gastos del tratamiento al que debió someterse el árbitro, que sufrió una fractura nasal y perdió dos piezas dentales. Según consignó FM Gente, Pintos señaló que su cliente le pidió disculpas al agredido, algo que fue “bien recibido”.
Tras el fallo judicial, la Asociación de Árbitros de Maldonado Capital emitió un comunicado en el que expresa su conformidad con el fallo. “Consideramos que esta resolución marca un antes y un después para todo lo que concierne al deporte”, dice el texto.
Este fin de semana, en tanto, otra vez se viralizaron imágenes violentas: los jugadores terminaron arriba del techo de los vestuarios, tirándose palas y otros objetos.
El video fue difundido por el medio local FM Gente, que informó que los incidentes se dieron cuando terminó el encuentro entre Atlético Fernandino y San Carlos, que finalizó 2-2. Al momento en que los policías llegaron hasta el lugar, ya no quedaba nadie y tampoco se presentó ninguna denuncia.
En las imágenes se aprecia cómo los futbolistas treparon hasta el techo de los vestuarios, mientras desde abajo voló un balde, que no llegó a impactar en ninguno de los presentes. Otro de los jugadores arrojó un objeto que no se logra identificar en el video, mientras que uno de ellos tiró una pala de construcción, que tampoco llegó a agredir a ninguno de los presentes.
Otros de los asistentes observaban los disturbios detrás de un muro.
Este partido era por la Liga Mayor de Maldonado. Lo que generó los incidentes fue que algunos futbolistas que estaban en la cancha arremetieron contra los suplentes, que gritaban contra este equipo, informó el noticiero Telemundo de Canal 12. Las palas que se ven en el video estaban en el lugar porque hay obras de remodelación en la cancha.
Los vecinos y quienes estaban en la cancha fueron los que llamaron a la Policía, ante el temor que tenían de que la pelea terminara en una batalla campal. Sin embargo, los efectivos no arrestaron a nadie porque cuando llegaron hasta allí ya se habían ido todos.
Como no hubo denuncia policial, no se inició una investigación penal por estos incidentes. La Fiscalía uruguaya tiene la potestad de actuar de oficio ante situaciones de este tipo, pero hasta ahora no ha informado si lo hará.
En el fútbol de Maldonado piden una mayor presencia policial ante los incidentes que se han reiterado en las últimas jornadas. Incluso pretenden que esa presencia se concrete dentro de las canchas.

Kamala Harris-endorsed candidate in hot seat for million-dollar DC home hundreds of miles outside district
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
FIRST ON FOX: Former Vice President Kamala Harris’ pick for Massachusetts’ 6th Congressional District, Dan Koh, is facing scrutiny for owning a million-dollar home hundreds of miles from the district in Washington, D.C.
Koh, who held several senior roles in former President Joe Biden’s White House, is running in a crowded race to replace Democratic Rep. Seth Moulton, who is running for the Senate. He has received the endorsement of Harris, who called him a «fighter» who «knows how to get things done.»
Though running in a suburban Massachusetts district, Koh and his wife own a $1.3 million home in a swanky neighborhood by Capitol Hill, which they purchased in 2022, according to the website for the D.C. Office of Tax and Revenue.
The two also own a home in Andover, Massachusetts, which sits within the 6th Congressional District, according to the North Essex Registry of Deeds. The Massachusetts home was purchased in 2019 for $810,000.

Amy Carnevale, chair of the Massachusetts Republican Party, knocked Koh over the home, telling Fox News Digital that «living full-time in D.C. with a no-show house in Massachusetts seems to be a family tradition amongst MassDems.»
She also criticized another Massachusetts Democrat, Sen. Ed Markey, who she said is «known in the Bay State as the ‘Senator from Chevy Chase,’» because he «is rarely seen in his alleged hometown in Massachusetts.»
«Dan Koh is now looking to follow in that tradition. What a shame for actual residents of Massachusetts who deserve better,» added Carnevale.
In response, a spokesperson for Koh’s campaign told Fox News Digital that «Dan lives full-time at his home in Andover, which he and his wife have owned for over 6 years.»

The spokesperson said that Koh «lived in D.C. during his time as a senior official in the White House during the Biden-Harris administration with his family.»
Tax documents available on the district’s Office of Tax and Revenue’s website show that Koh and his wife still own the D.C. home as of August.
Harris endorsed Koh on Oct. 28, saying: «During our time in the White House, I saw Dan’s steadfast drive to make life better — and more affordable — for working people.»
«He knows how to get things done, will be the fighter you deserve, and is ready on day one,» said Harris, adding, «I’m proud to endorse him and encourage everyone in Massachusetts’ 6th District to support his campaign.»

A statement by Koh’s campaign said that he is among the first candidates Harris has endorsed in the 2025-26 campaign cycle, which the campaign said demonstrates «the critical importance of electing a strong, effective Democratic leader to represent the 6th District.»
Koh said he is «honored that Vice President Harris has endorsed our campaign for Massachusetts’ 6th District,» adding, «I personally witnessed the Vice President’s tireless dedication to the American people every day in the administration.»

He added, «I’ll be ready on day one to bring the same brand of leadership to Capitol Hill, getting to work to deliver results for families of our commonwealth and our country.»
