President Donald Trump speaks with reporters aboard Air Force One, Monday, Feb. 16, 2026, en route to Washington from West Palm Beach, Fla.Donald Trump has claimed the latest round of Ukraine peace talks are going to “be very easy” while also throwing out a bizarre warning to Kyiv.Trilateral discussions between the US, Ukraine and Russia are taking place in Geneva, Switzerland, today in the hope of resolving Vladimir Putin’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine.While Trump is desperate to get a peace deal over the line as soon as possible, he and his team have repeatedly sided with Moscow and its maximalist demands.There are ongoing fears the US will force Ukraine to give up more of its sovereign land to Russia in the name of a truce.Speaking to reporters last night, the US president said: “They’re big talks. It’s going to be very easy.”But he added: “Ukraine better come to the table, fast. That’s all I’m telling you. We are in a position we want them to come.”His words are particularly striking considering Moscow launched 396 drones and 29 missiles into Ukraine overnight into Tuesday, according to Kyiv, reached 12 regions.Meanwhile, Russia’s defence ministry claims its forces shot down at least 151 Ukrainian drones overnight.Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy said: “It was a combined strike, deliberately calculated to cause as much damage as possible to our energy sector.”Zelenskyy also ranted about the dangers of giving more land to an aggressor like Putin on Monday.The president said: “I’m not just talking about Ukraine. I’m speaking about the leaders of different countries that allowed an aggressive country like Russia to come onto their territory.“Because you can’t stop Putin with your kisses or flowers.“I never did it and that’s why I don’t feel that it’s the right way.”These talks will be the third round of trilateral talks so far, after two successful sit-downs in the United Arab Emirates.While participants said those discussions were constructive, Putin’s push to secure Ukraine’s partially-occupied Donbas region remains a sticking point.The future of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant and US security guarantees for Ukraine continue to be an issue, too.Related…Czech Politician Teases Hillary Clinton’s Trump Rant — And Her Response Is RuthlessOpinions Of Donald Trump’s US Sink To New Low In West EuropeZelenskyy Has A Theory As To Why Trump Is In Such A Hurry To End Ukraine War HuffPost UK – Athena2 – All Entries (Public) Read More
