Trump and Putin spoke for two hours on Monday evening.
“I believe it went very well,” Trump posted on X. “Russia and Ukraine want to immediately start a conversation towards a ceasefire and, more imports, at the end of the war,” he wrote.
He said that the conditions between the two sides will be negotiated.
Trump highlighted that “Russia wants to trade Largescale with the United States when this horrific” bloodbath “is over, and I agree.”
Trump wrote, “There is a tremendous opportunity for Russia in the creative amount of jobs and money. Its ability is unlimited,” Trump wrote.
“Similarly, Ukraine may have a major benefit on business in the process of reconstruction of his country,” he said.
‘Memorandum’ on peace agreement
On the other hand, Putin’s response, what is more calm. He called the talks “frank, informative and very useful”.
Hey said Russia was also in favor of a peaceful solution and was ready to work with Ukraine on a potential future peace agreement.
However, Putin did not explain in detail what such a memorandum could look like.
“In terms of tones and materials, the thesis two reactions differ radically from each other,” Alexandra Philippanko, for the independent political analysts located in the Lithuanian capital Villonius, was stated by DW. In his view, the conversation himself did not achieve anything. “They agreed, as frequent, to agree,” she said.
Putin wants to remove the ‘root causes’ of war
Philippanko said that it was a war war. A Putin once talked about the need to eliminate the “root causes” of the war. This means that Ukraine should renounce its aspirations for NATO membership and recognize the area attached by Russia as the Russian region.
Ukrainian President Volodimier Zelansky has already rejected the thesis demands as being unacceptable.
Compared to 2022, Putin has not shifted “inch inch” from his positions, “Philipanko said.
Conversely, the Kremlin leader “consolidated his position” and “had no success to talk here.”
Vienna -based Russian political analyst Mikhail Comin described Putin and Trump’s reactions as “roaring zero”.
They both know that they are unable to explain their arguments to each other, they explained. “What did both of them discuss for two hours anyway?” He was amazed.
He estimated that the call focused more on how to end war in Ukraine and other subjects, mainly bilateral economic relations between Russia and the US.
He said that it was not well for Ukraine and his European colleagues, “as Vladimir Putin’s negotiations are working to hold talks.”
Hey that the scheme included two points: first, not to provoke Trump to prevent him from supporting Ukraine more. This may include additional restrictions against Russia or large weapons supply for Ukraine.
“Kremlin wants Trump to be at least neutral,” Commin said, saying that it was Suk Peding.
The second part of Putin’s strategy, the comin said, did not agree in any way, to reject everything, to compromise and continue the attack on Ukraine.
“Kremlin no longer sees no reason to end the war, because in its opinion, things on the front are developing in favor of Russia,” Commin said. He said that there was no talk of Russia’s global separation.
“In this regard, the memorandum with Ukraine, which will be ready to sign Putin, is just a child of the intention declaration,” Criticized Philippanko, called the paper “Uless because it is not committed to anyone.”
A trump show for American voters?
“Trump’s enthusiastic response to phone calls with Putin is a show for his own voters at home,” Philippanko told DW. He thought that the future of Ukraine dialogue was in the hands of the US State Department and especially the Congress, as it could decide on new sanctions to punish Russia.
However, for some time, he did not envisage any additional pressure on Putin.
“Trump could have threatened the restrictions, but instead he is talking about business opportunities to draw Putin into peace talks,” Philipanko said.
“While the US President claims that he can achieve peace through business, such a strategy is not enough to influence Putin,” he said.
“Putin is perfectly certain that he would eliminate all the necessary agreements in a way or another way,” Philippanko predicted that he saw the very little possibility of peace in Ukraine in the near future.
“It is now clear that Putin Trump is playing, we have to do something,” said the shed. “Otherwise, things look bad for Ukraine.”
