This is unacceptable for Putin: what is behind Trump's statement about a possible meeting with the dictator Melania Golembyovskaya

Donald Trump said at a rally that he is waiting for a meeting with Vladimir Putin to put an end to the war. However, such words of the future US president do not mean his real actions.

Trump's statement is abstract, like his previous words about a telephone conversation with the Russian dictator. Political scientist Vladimir Fesenko expressed this opinion to Channel 24, noting that the newly elected president and his team do not yet have a strategy for real negotiations.

What is behind Trump's statement about a possible meeting with Putin

Putin's earlier statements about his readiness to meet with Trump show that Russia wants negotiations with the United States, not with Ukraine. Likewise, the future US president has now abstractly admitted that such a meeting could take place.

Meanwhile, Russia has already responded to the words of the newly elected US president – Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that there is no real impetus for organizing such a meeting.

The political scientist drew attention to an interesting detail – in early November, The Washington Post wrote that Trump had a telephone conversation with Putin, and Peskov said that there were no contacts. Since then, the dictator and the newly elected president have not spoken. Now the same story is repeating itself.

Trump is not yet taking active steps in this direction of negotiations, because his team does not yet have a ready-made negotiating strategy and a peace plan, – Fesenko explained.

The future US administration has not officially announced contacts with the Kremlin, and organizing a personal meeting between Trump and Putin would be much more difficult. The Russian dictator is afraid to go to Brazil, and even more so to go to the United States.

This is unacceptable for Putin. He has a certain paranoia about Western countries, the political scientist emphasized.

Fesenko added that conclusions can be made after the visit of US Special Representative Keith Kellogg to Ukraine. For now, Trump's statements are very abstract.
