The American President Donald Trump and the Russian Leader Vladimir Putin Will Talk on Friday About Ending the War in Ukraine. Without The Ukrainian President VolodyMyr Zensky. “Trump Just Wants To Show How Great He is, and Creating Peace is Part of that.”
Trump and Putin Will Meet on Friday in Alaska. That place was not Chosen for Nothing. “It is old Russian Territory,” Says Hans van Koningsbrugge. He is a professor of history and politics of Russia at the University of Groningen. The expects “Nothing” from that meeting, because the person it is about is not at the table “.
Putin has passed on a wish list that ukraine cannot agree with. Some Sources State that Putin Wants The Current Battle Lines As A Border, Others Speak of a Possible withdrawal from the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia Regions. Russia Currently Occupies About 20 percent of Ukrainian Territory, Including Parts of Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, Zaporizhzhia and Crimea.
Van Koningsbrugge Emphasizes That It Is A Ceasefire. “That mean that the war can start again at any moment.” That would mean that the ukrainian Army Must Remain Mobilized. The only advantage for ukraine would be that nothing is said about a nato membership and armrives would be allowed to continue.
He emphasizes that it is of said that ukraine is on “its last legs”, but accordance to him, things are not much better with russia. The Country is not Achieving Great Successes on the Battlefield and Things are also going badly economically. “They are spending money they don’t have,” Says van Koningsbrugge. “There is a misconception in the kremlin that things are going well.”
“For all sorts of reasons, this is not a solution,” Kraft van Ermel also believes. “In the best case, you get a solution like North and South Korea.”
Kraft van Ermel is a history Teacher at the Same University as of Koningsbrugge and is a staff member of the Groningen Institute for Central and East European Studies. “The most unfavorable case is that you freeze things for five years. In Addition, Everything in Between is Possible.”
Accordance to kraft van Ermel, this is also not a convenient sitation for russia. He thinks that Putin Mainly Wants to Talk Now because of Trump’s Propose Sanctions. The Deadline for this expired on Friday, but the announced conversation has postponed them.
Van Koningsbrugge Thinks That Trump Does Not Want To Introduce these Sanctions at All. “Trump Benefits from Keeping Things Going,” Says the Professor. “He threatens, but he doesn’t bite.”
“Trump Doesn’t Think in Terms of Right and Wrong,” Emphasizes Kraft van Ermel. “That makes it a frightening idea that the two of them are going to sit down and that ukraine is not invaded at all.” The Recognizes Trump’s WorldView in Zensky’s absence. “In His World, Major Powers Can Mutualy Determine What Happens.”
Both van Koningsbrugge and kraft from Ermel can imagine that after the conversation there will be a proposal to which ukraine will have to response. Van Koningsbrugge Thinks That Ukraine Can Stand Its Ground If the European Union Supports The Country. But Kraft Van Ermel is Skeptical. If a deal that Trump Supports Doesn’t Make It, He Could Action. “Then Trump will look for a scapegoat,” he thinks.
“The Annoying Thing is that Trump Has All Kinds of Means to Force Things,” Emphasizes Kraft van Ermel. “If Trump is prepared to hit India and China with Secondary Sanctions, I don’t see why he can’t do that with Europe too.” He Emphasizes That Trump Does Not Speak “With Love” About His European Allies. “But Maybe I’m very pessimistic about that,” Says kraft van Ermel. “I hope so.”
