The call from Trump-Putin reveals changing properties for peace talks of Ukraine

Last year, Donald Trump promised that he would end the Ukrainklieg in “24 hours”.

Last week he said that it would not be solved until he and Russian President Vladimir Putin could “come together” and could go out personally.

The ground shifted again on Monday.

After a two-hour call with Putin, he said that the conditions of a peace agreement could only be negotiated between Russia and Ukraine-and maybe with the help of the Pope.

Nevertheless, the US President has not lost his feeling of optimism about the prospect of peace and published on social media that the fighters would “start negotiations for an armistice and an end of the war.

This feeling was a little contradictory in the Russian perspective. Putin only said that his country was ready to work with Ukraine to create a “memorandum about a possible future peace agreement”.

The conversations about Memorandum and a “possible future” of peace seems to be hardly a solid floor in which permanent business can be built quickly.

Putin again emphasized that a solution should address the “basic causes” of the war – in the past Russia as the wish of Ukraine claimed for closer connections in Europe.

It is possible that Trump's recent attitude of war in Ukraine could be a sign that the United States will ultimately give up the negotiating table.

“Big ego took part, but I think something will happen,” said Trump on Monday afternoon. “And if this is not the case, I just get away and you have to go on.”

However, such a step contains your own questions – and risks.

If the United States washing the hands of the war, as Vice President JD Vance and Foreign Minister Marco Rubio threatened, does this mean that the United States would also end a military and intelligence service for Ukraine?

And if this is the case, it can be a development that would welcome Russia with its larger resources compared to Ukraine cut off from American support.

This view is sufficient if Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky is concerned.

“It is crucial for all of us that the United States does not distance themselves from the conversations and striving for peace,” he said on Monday after the Trump-Putin call was called.

Ukraine and Russia seem to continue some conversations in rhetoric on Monday – and speaking in some form is war after almost three years of war. It is still too determined whether the Russian team will be more than the delegation on a low level that traveled to Istanbul to meet Ukrainians last Friday.

Trump promises reduced sanctions against Russia – and new trade agreements and economic investments – as a temptation that Putin will move towards a peace agreement. He mentioned this again in his comments after calling up. On the other hand, there were no negative consequences such as new sanctions against Russian banking and energy exports.

The US President warned last month that he did not “type” Putin and said that Russia should not address civilian areas. But yesterday Russia started his greatest drone strike in the war against Ukrainian cities, and the call between the two world leaders on Monday makes it clear that every ceasefire or a peace agreement still seems to be far above the horizon.
