Talling Trump and Putin: Peace or new threats?

However, the assessments of the conversation are different. Trump and the White House spoke of a comprehensive ceasefire, while the Kremlin emphasized that Putin reacted positively to the proposal to adjust the attacks on the energy infrastructure. Putin made demands in conversation, including the immediate attitude of weapons and intelligence agencies from the West to Ukraine. Trump, on the other hand, rejected Putin's promise that he had asked for an immediate stop of all aids. As a result, the Kreml Membrage was interpreted as a threat to the USA and Europe. Putin set conditions that do not rule out an escalation of the conflict.

reactions and events in Ukraine

In the past few days there have been increasing reports about attacks in Ukraine. The Ukrainian side stated that he had intercept 79 out of 145 Russian drones. But the Russian attacks led to severe losses on the Ukrainian side. For example, at least four people were killed by Russian fire in the Donetsk Oblast, and Russia conducted air strikes on strategic destinations in Odessa.

context of the peace negotiations

The situation is complicated by the negative reaction of Kremlin hardliners to the suggestions for peace negotiations. Alexander Dugin, a right -wing extremist philosopher, joined the idea of a break. Military bloggers also claimed that Ukraine only wanted a breath to fill up their army. The pressure on Russia is growing to react to the peaceful suggestions, because in addition to the ceasefire, Ukraine also calls for solid security guarantees against renewed attacks, as well as the return of forced -de -enforced Ukrainian children.

In addition, the United States makes it clear that the reciprocity for peace is of crucial importance. A former US ambassador warned of Putin's manipulation attempts to influence Trump. Further discussions between Russia and the USA are already in Saudi Arabia for Sunday, which indicates a continuation of diplomacy. But the processed situation remains tense and requires quick action on the part of the international community.
