Trump and Putin, Jailonsky suspect Russia’s intention
US President Donald Trump will hold talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday, so that he can obtain consent on the US proposal of the ceasefire.
Trump hopes that this will allow the way to end Russia’s destructive war against Ukraine.
The US President’s Office ‘White House’ is optimistic about the ceasefire agreement, although Ukraine’s President Volodimir Jailnsky suspects that Putin is not doing anything other than giving a showed support to Trump, while the Russian army continues to bomb his country.
This development is the latest link to dramatic changes in the US -Russia relations, as Trump has made the struggle end to end his top priority – even for this, there is a cost of tension in relations with old associates of America, who want Putin to be ‘punished’ for invasion.
“The situation in Russia is bad, the situation in Ukraine is also bad,” Trump told reporters on Monday. What is happening in Ukraine is not good, but we will see if we can establish peace, ceasefire and peace. And I think we will be able to do so. ”
For the preparation of Trump-Putin talks, the White House special envoy Steve Witchoff met Putin in Moscow last week and discussed the proposal.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio persuaded senior Ukraine officials to agree to the ceasefire outline during talks in Saudi Arabia.
The US President said that Washington and Moscow have started discussing “dividing some properties” between Ukraine and Russia as part of an agreement to end the struggle.
Trump, who pledged to end the war quickly during his election campaign, has several times described his relations with Putin and convicted Ukraine for Russia’s unprovoked invasion. Not only this, he accused Jelonski of unnecessarily stretching the biggest war in Europe after World War II.
Putin spokesman Dimitri Peskov told reporters on Tuesday that Trump and Putin would discuss the war in Ukraine. He also said that many questions are still left about making US-Russia relations normal.
Peskov said that the dialogue will take place between GMT (Greenwich Me Time) from 1 pm to 3 pm (6:30 pm to 8.30 pm).
He said that control of plots and power plants would be part of negotiation.
Vicchoff and White House Press Secretary Caroline Levit reported that American and Russian officials have discussed the future of Europe’s largest Zaporizia nuclear power plant in southern Ukraine.
The plant has been hit by the attack in 2022 after Moscow sending the army to Ukraine and the plant was captured shortly after that. The plant is an important asset, which used to produce about a quarter of Ukraine in the year before the war.
Levit said, “I can say that we are at a distance of 10 steps. And we are not as close to the peace agreement at this time.
This proposed conversation is also seen as an opportunity to give a new direction to the US foreign policy for Trump.
Earlier, Trump had informed reporters about the proposed conversation with Putin while going from Florida to Washington from ‘Air Force One’ (aircraft used by the US President) on Sunday evening. At the same time, Russian President’s office Kremlin confirmed Putin’s involvement in this conversation on Monday morning.
Trump had said, “We will see if we have something to announce by Tuesday.” I will talk to President Putin on Tuesday. ”
He said, “A lot of work has been done in the weekend. We want to see if we can end this war. ”
Kremlin spokesman Dimitri Peskov confirmed the plan of the two leaders on Tuesday morning, but refused to give detailed information.
European colleague, Trump’s friendly stance towards Putin and his strict stance towards Ukrainian President Volodimir Jailonsky, who had to face a sharp debate about two weeks ago when he reached the ‘Oval Office’ (US President’s Office).
Russia attacked Ukraine about three years ago.
Trump said that land and power plants are part of negotiations to end the war. He said, “We will talk about the land. We will talk about power plants. ”
Russia illegally occupied four areas of Ukraine after Russia started an invasion of Ukraine. These include the Donatsk and Luhansk region in the east and the Kherason and Zaporizia regions in the south-east of the country, but they do not have complete control over either of the four.
Last year, Putin listed the return of Kiev soldiers from all four areas as one of the demands for peace. In 2014, Russia also mixed Crimea from Ukraine.
