The United States has WALKED OUT of a meeting in Paris of the group calling itself the "Coalition of the Willing" concerning Ukraine.
US Special Representative Steve Witkoff got up and walked out only twenty minutes into the meeting, according the the Elysee Palace. Apparently, the subject matter was immediately so devoid of reality, so untenable there was no sense in Witkoff remaining. Witkoff will return after the Europeans call President Trump.
As recently as yesterday, Russian President Vladimir Putin publicly made clear that Russia will not allow foreign troops into Ukraine - either as part of the ongoing conflict or as part of any peace plan. Moreover, Putin explicitly stated that if Russia's goals in their Special Military Operation "cannot be achieved Diplomatically, they will be achieved militarily."
For some reason, Ukraine and its European supporters seem unable to grasp that Russia will get what Russia demands, or Russia will impose the demands by force.
The Europeans seem to think that what they are doing with their military assistance to Ukraine, matters. Clearly, the Russians see otherwise.
At this point, Russia is undeniably winning on the battlefield, and as such, has no reason to compromise its goals.
The fact that US Special Representative Witkoff walked out of the meeting after only 20 minutes today, does not bode well for the Ukraine situation to be settled Diplomatically.
