Putin wants to meet Trump, but does Trump wants to meet Putin?
propagandaA meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump, It is “necessary in many ways”But no date has been set after that, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov announced on Monday. “Such a meeting clearly on the radar,” he added. “It must be prepared correctly, which requires efforts for different levels of experts,” said Peskov.
But what includes “efforts”? Firstly, Kremlin’s commitment to high shooting Cort Volcker, former former US representative of negotiations on Ukraine during Trump, says in his war against Ukraine, says Court Volker, former US Special Representative of the United States for negotiations on Ukraine during the Trump era. In an interview with “Euronews” at the Kyiv Security Forum, Volker said that the American president wanted to meet his Russian counterpart, but only after creating a truce in Ukraine.
(Trump) wants to end the war, and then he would like Rebuilding a relationship with Russia. He believes that Russia can be reintegrated into a global economy, a commercial transaction with Russia can be made, but Putin must stop the war first, “Volker explained.” Since Putin does not do so, Trump Putin’s meeting views look more and more. “
Volker was Washington negotiator for Ukraine between 2017 and 2019, When Putin and Trump held their latest meetings In Helsinki, then at the G20 meeting in Osaka.
“Putin plays with President Trump’s arrogance”
Volcker says that the Russian president He “is trying to play with President Trump’s arrogance Say, well, we can sit face to face to solve this. “At the beginning of his second term, Trump said he will meet Putin “very quickly” After assuming the situation.
“I think President Trump in some way He sees himself a strong personality capable of doing so. But it is not happy because Putin did not put an end to the war. This is where the idea of this meeting will not occur simply unless the circumstances change. “
Volker announced “Eurono”, and therefore, was there A major change in opinion in Washington Regarding Putin’s will to stop his war against Ukraine. “It is clear that the United States and Ukraine are consistent with a 30 -day high fire. This is a step before a highly constant fire. Putin mocks that.”
“It is not really serious to stop the fighting. Now in Washington, you have a feeling of that People realize this and draw attention to Putin“The speech told him that Russia is asking a lot and that it does not accept a big fire,” Volker said.
Instead, the Russian President “One Fire of one side” announced Three days to protect and ensure the victory day in Moscow on Friday. “Putin does not take the high fire seriously,” Volker said. “Stop his attacks is not taken seriously.
What will Washington do now?
The Vice President of the United States, JD Vance, admitted this week that the talks to end the Russian war against Ukraine They even do not approach the initial expectations From Washington. “Now, the Russians ask a series of requirements, A series of privileges to end the conflict. “We think they are asking a lot,” Vans said.
“The American administration can now” harden its discourse on Russian aggression and its lack of a high will. “This will be The first stepFollowed by “new new sanctions against Russia,” and perhaps including secondary sanctions “against those who help Russia to evade Petroleum penalties and original gas And the financial industry. “
And most importantly, Washington will continue to provide weapons to Ukraine. He added: “This will not be the money of taxpayers. I think the era of allocating taxpayers money to finance Ukraine has ended. But I can see loans to Ukraine, which is loans and rent as we did with the United Kingdom in World War II.”
Although The frozen Russian origins did not rule out the confiscation And their use to push weapons to Ukraine, “Canada is advancing in this direction, and I will not be surprised that the United States will do it too,” and Ambassador Volker concluded.
