Narrowly avoiding a decision that would have ramped up the prospects for World War Three, President Trump today in a meeting with Ukraine's President Zelensky rejected giving the nuclear-weapons-capable longer range Tomahawk weapons to Ukraine that wanted to attack Russia with them. The war needs to end rather than escalate. So President Trump agreed to meet with Russia President Putin in Hungary and talk about ending the conflict. President could himself nearly end the war by stopping adding weapons fuel to the fire. ending sanctions in Russia, recognizing Ukraine land presently held by Russia as Russian and stipulating that Ukraine will not be permitted to become a N.A.T.O member on Russia's border. President Putin would only need to agree to halt the war along present lines of combat contact and to not attack Ukraine any more except where N.A.T.O. member military personnel present an armed threat with troop build-ups in Ukraine.
