🇷🇺 Russian President Vladimir Putin has rejected President Donald Trump’s push to have the next round of Russia-Ukraine peace talks at the Vatican – an idea the president has floated since the newly appointed American pontiff, Pope Leo XIV, suggested it earlier this month.

Special Envoy Keith Kellogg confirmed the news while speaking on "Fox & Friends" Tuesday morning when he said, "The Russians didn’t want to go there" and suggested that instead the talks could next be held in Geneva.

Though it remains unclear when another round of talks will be held as Russia has yet to agree to the U.S.’s peace proposal and its foreign ministry on Tuesday claimed it was still working on its memorandum of .

Trump on Tuesday took to social media to issue a warning to Putin and said he's "playing with fire."

"What Vladimir Putin doesn’t realize is that if it weren’t for me, lots of really bad things would have already happened to Russia, and I mean REALLY BAD," he wrote on Truth Social. "He’s playing with fire!"


Similarly, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Moscow of "playing games" after it carried out the largest drone strike ever in the three-year-long war in a Sunday attack in which Russia launched 335 drones and nine cruise missiles at civilian targets.

The attack prompted Trump to condemn Putin as "crazy" in a post on his social media platform, Truth Social.

"I've always had a very good relationship with Vladimir Putin of Russia, but something has happened to him," Trump said Sunday. "He has gone absolutely CRAZY!


He is needlessly killing a lot of people, and I'm not just talking about soldiers. Missiles and drones are being shot into cities in Ukraine, for no reason whatsoever," he added.

Trump took it one step further and warned Putin that should he attempt to take "all of Ukraine…it will lead to the downfall of Russia."

The Kremlin clapped back at Trump and accused him of being "emotional."

When asked about the president’s comments, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said, "We are really grateful to the Americans and to President Trump personally for their assistance in organizing and launching this negotiation process.

"This is a very crucial moment, which is associated, of course, with the emotional overload of everyone absolutely and with emotional reactions," he added, according to a Reuters report.

After all the asslicking
What would you do if you were the President of the US?

Keep fueling the fight? Keep sanctioning Russia? Wait.. Has either worked so far?

See, Ukraine and NATO can never defeat Russia. Not even in the next 100 years.

US itself CANNOT win an all out war against Russia.

If asslicking the ass of Putin is what would end the war, then it's a fair deal.

He's right.

Russia is the largest country on earth. No army on earth can cover an area that size. Not even 80 million troops. The US can barely mobilize 2 million troops.

Russia has the largest mineral reserves on earth. Rare earth metals and others in abundance.

Russia has the largest missile arsenal on earth. And the largest and most diverse nuclear arsenal.

Russia is backed by China & India and the rest of Asia (4 billion people). All nuclear armed btw.

So how on earth do you expect the US to win against Russia? Even with the help of NATO.

Incapable?? For a war that is barely 3 years old? Ukraine is the second largest country in Europe after Russia. Ukraine had the second largest ground army in Europe after Russia, before the war. Ukraine had more weapons than before the war.

Ukraine has received over $450 billion in weapons, that's more than 100 countries GDP.

The Ukrainian regions that caused the war are already under Russian control. Together with 70% of Ukrainian mineral resources and rare earth metals.

The US took 20 years and $4 trillion to fight a ragtag Taliban group only to lose to them. The poorest nation on earth. Did the Taliban receive the same as Ukraine is receiving? In fact it was the reverse. The US was ed by the whole NATO countries.


No Russian official has ever said the war will be won in a short time. Infact Putin has said so many times that they're prepared to fight forever, if that's what It'll take. Prove me wrong and show us links.

Russia fought Sweden for 21 years and captured territories. St Petersburg of today's Russia is one of those territories.

The difference between Russia and the U.S is that when the Russians capture any territory, it is lost forever. No force on earth can return it back.

That has always been their history. That's how Russia got bigger in the first place.

Ok let me unequivocally state how the US will win Russia with all the aforementioned that you said because overtime there is a transitional process in war from conventional to unconventional. Firstly, war is not fought and won on the tenets of population if not the recent outburst between India and Pakistan the 6 days war between Israel and her Arab nation wouldn't have happened rather is fought and won through intelligent gathering, logistics, technology and etal. Secondly, having abundant rare earth minerals does not translate to winning wars if not we would have Russia winning Ukraine in the war as mentioned by Putin to end in two weeks then the dumb of all is land mass! Prior to this time China was conquered by Japan Nigeria threatened to invade Niger which would have happened like ABC alone during Adolf Hitler invaded almost all her neighboring countries which if they are put together is thrice the size of his country. So bro it is highly inconsequential to say war is warn through rare earth minerals, population or land mass. Modern warfare is won through intelligence gathering, logistics, espionage, technology and the power of projection from land, air and sea! I hope you are convinced beyond reasonable doubt with proper and in-depth analysis free from biasness rather base on objectivity and transcend of events that has neutralized and liquidated your submission that US can't win Russia in a war!

Show us proof where Putin said he'll win the war in 3 days or weeks?? We're waiting.

Russia already controls the region that caused the war. The eastern part of Ukraine rich in minerals is now Russian.

While you are right to say Putin never said he will win the war in three days or in weeks he also never put it in records by saying NO when the mainstream and right wing media where propagating it.

US General Mark Miley is the only living person to say that.

No Russian official have ever said that. Infact Putin has said it dozens of times that they're prepared to fight forever.

U all think war is a straight line until it starts, if could run through Europe during world war II and it took a huge coalition spending blood and sweat to stop them.
Don't think this will be different, China will mostly likely team up with Russia, same as Iran and a few others, this will be more terrible than what the Germans, Japanese and Italians did during world war II.
Those in power knows this, that's why they are not outrightly Ă ttĂ cking Russia.

You underestimate China. That China that I know will rather watch America and Russia tear themselves apart.
