A date could be set for a meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
A Ukrainian member of parliament, and a member of President Zelensky's centrist political party - Servant for the People - Yuriy Kamelchuk told RTÉ’s Morning Ireland that a date is expected to be set in the coming days for a meeting between the presidents.

"It is possible to provide negotiations in Israel. We have additional information from our diplomacy that in maybe two or three days we will have a result of the date for those negotiations between Zelensky and Putin," Mr Kamelchuk said.
"First we need agreement for those negotiations and also a date - when it can be possible."

Mr Kamelchuk added his information is from advisers to the presidential office in Ukraine.

It won't be a face meeting as I can't see Putin leaving his bunker. He has been 'frit to death' over Covid, that's why he's been living in seclusion and has that ridiculously long table! Also, he'll also be worried that he'll be 'bumped off'. With good reason if I'm not mistaken.

I wonder who Putin’s successor is likely to be?

Anybody on here abreast of this?

Are we looking at another serial narcissist or a loveable p I s s head like Yeltsin who we can do business with?

The Communist Party got thrown out in a revolt, in which the pyss head prevented a massive slaughter......
This time the Russian people might not be so lenient.....

The problem is that any successor would most likely be more of the same. The regime, those who run it and benefit would not want a major change.
All opposition has been eliminated and the masses totally manipulated using whatever is necessary including propaganda and force.

It will need another revolution from within to overthrow them.
Wanted to add the younger generation are more aware of the truth
