What to expect from the Trump-Putin call on Ukraine war

President Donald Trump He may speak with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday, announcing Sunday. Since then, Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov and the White House have confirmed the phone number.

Trump is eager to end the war in Ukraine by reaching a deal with Putin to achieve his campaign promises, which he calls “bloody.”

This is expected, nor are they expected of their conversation.

Both Trump and Putin may remain cordial and respectful, continuing to demonstrate their skills and talents in diplomacy. Unlike former President Biden and his vice president Kamala Harris, who are often angry at Putin’s tenacious behavior, calling him a “killer”, Trump has not insulted Putin. The art master of transaction knows how to dance diplomatic waltz.

Putin is in no hurry to follow Trump time ceasefire proposal

Under the exterior wall, neither Trump nor Putin trusted it. Despite his first term, smiles and positive gestures are still pursuing the most powerful anti-Russian policy since Ronald Reagan. He authorized fatal aid to Ukraine, approved the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, activated Russian spies, who operated from Russian spies placed in diplomats’ embassies, and closed three U.S. Russian facilities in the United States that effectively acted as espionage against the motherland. Trump has also taken several measures to mitigate Russia’s ability to exploit vulnerability in the American war style, which is heavily dependent on technology.

in turn, Putin believes Trump As a very difficult and worthy opponent, an unpredictable and difficult way to manipulate the former presidents of the Russian dictator: the way Bush, Obama and Biden. In 2017, when news reporters were asked about his disappointment with Trump after Russian diplomatic agencies were shut down in New York, Washington and San Francisco, Putin called the issue “naive.” The former KGB agent said Trump was “not my bride, I am not his groom.”

In 2018, after the summit in Helsinki, Putin mocked Trump for his idea of ​​trusting him: “You can’t trust anyone. Where did you get Trump’s idea of ​​trusting me, and I totally believe him?” Putin told reporters. “he [Trump] Defend the interests of the United States and Russia. ”

Indeed, feelings and emotions are not part of the area at all, and when interacting with each other, severe and powerful users of the country, especially in Russia and the United States, both consider themselves to be outstanding powers.

There will be no breakthrough on Tuesday when it comes to the substantive aspects of Ukraine’s Trump-Putin agreement. But both sides may report positive progress without specific details.

A 30-day ceasefire transaction cannot be achieved. Putin is unlikely to be forced to accept a ceasefire as he is ready to fight until the pain.

As President Trump recently admitted, Putin “holds all cards.” Washington may and likely put more severe economic pressure on Moscow, as U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and National Economic Commission director Kevin Hassett recently proposed. Hassett claims Trump is ready to use as part of the “carrot or stick” strategy putting pressure on Putin.

But Russians believe that the Trump team is bluffing, which shows that playing cards involving global economic impact is too risky. Russians believe that more aggressive sanctions on Russia’s energy sector will backfire, making the prices here higher. In any case, Moscow believes that it can experience sanctions as it has done so far. Indeed, Putin’s behavior has not changed over the past decade.

President Trump may feel that the deal with Putin is harder than he thought. By making his campaign promises, Trump He may have put himself in an unsatisfactory timeline and gave Putin a leverage. Trump’s Russian adviser should clearly present the Prime Minister for the commander, Chief Russia-Ukraine issue complexity is gradually raised by Washington through push Ukraine enters NATO first.

Russian media expressed praise for Putin’s “six words” message for “impatient” Trump (My Za Mir, no Est’Nyuansyin Russian language), referring to Putin’s recent television statement, who claimed Russia was peaceful but “with nuances.” On Sunday, Trump claimed he was “a little ironic” when he promised to end the Russian-Ukrainian war in 24 hours on his campaign.

On Sunday night, Trump spoke with Air Force One reporters, it sounded more realistic and clear.

“We want to see if we can end this war,” he said. “Maybe we can, maybe we can’t, but I think it’s very likely that we can.”

If the commander-in-chief realizes Putin is stringing him up, he will cancel the phone and walk away. Let Putin stew it might soften him, and if the Russians really want peace, they will make a comeback. The chaos that President Trump inherited from Biden and Europeans is almost certainly not resolved on the phone.
