Experts have warned that a threatening meeting between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump will not stop ‘Kremlin’s Warmongering’

On a dramatic day yesterday, President Trump had a “long and very productive” phone call with Putin where the leaders agreed to start negotiations to end the war in Ukraine “immediately”.

Senior legislature Leonid Slutsky, head of Duma’s international committee for affairs, claimed that the meeting could soon take place, as early as February or March in Saudi Arabia, according to the Russian state news agency Ria.

However, Russian political analyst Tatiana Stanovaya claims that Putin is simply “flattering” and “satisfactory” Trump and is fully prepared for the conversations to fail.

The Kremlin believes that “There is nothing that the West can do that would turn Russiaterritorial gains and prevents UkraineCollapse in the long term ”.

Stanovaya believes that nothing “will not deter Russia from his ultimate goal ”.

She wrote on X: “Putin will continue to flatter and calm Trump and offers concessions that Trump will produce as a huge success and a wonderful deal.

“But these concessions – like a weapon weapon – will not deter Russia From his ultimate goal: secure a “friendly” Ukraine on its terms. “

The Institute for the Study of War (ISW), an American Policy Research Organization, said “a premature business risks that release Putin from the hook (…) before Ukraine and the United States achieves the position of a real force ‘.

After learning the US president’s plan to meet Putin, British defense secretary John Healey said it was for Ukraine to determine the time and conditions of all business.

The United States has proposed that, as part of a peace agreement, Ukraine must accept that it must give up some territory to Russia And that is unlikely Ukraine Would go with NATO, which will be a bitter disappointment to Kiev.

Just yesterday Ukrainian president Volodymyr zelensky said he had talked to Trump about a “lasting, reliable peace”.

Zelensky has previously expressed his confidence in Trump’s ability to brokers a ceasefire, in a post to his X Social Media Channel, he wrote that it was “crucial” that all security guarantees in a peace agreement involve the United States, Europe and the United Kingdom.

He said: “Security guarantees must involve the United States as the most important guarantee, along with Europe, including the EU and the UK.

“This is crucial. Only together. Whether it is a contingent, weapon, marine presence, personnel or air defense system – it must be a joint effort between the US and Europe.”
