A consensus among Russian, Ukrainian, and Western analysts suggests low expectations for a breakthrough from the meeting between former U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Zelensky plans to request increased pressure on Russia and discuss halting attacks on energy infrastructure. He also holds a new card amid rising diesel prices in the United States.

Zelensky, viewed by some as representative of globalist interests, contrasts with Trump, who has been described as a "lame duck."

The Kremlin said Zelensky knows the solutions for sustainable peace and urged him to visit Moscow as the Special Military Operation continues.
