Putin continues to set conditions for “good neighborliness” with Ukraine after conversation with Trump.
Newly elected US President Donald Trump held his first conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin since the election. Subsequently, Russia raised bombers in Ukraine, but fortunately this time there was no massive attack. All the details of the high-profile events were told in an exclusive story by TSN.ua journalist Victoria Panchenko.
It is reported that this was stated by the American publication The Washington Post, citing its own sources. It is alleged that during a telephone conversation that Trump conducted from his residence in Florida, he advised the Russian dictator not to escalate the war in Ukraine and reminded him of Washington's significant military presence in Europe. Trump reportedly expressed interest in further contacts to discuss “a quick resolution to the war in Ukraine,” a person familiar with the conversation told reporters on condition of anonymity.
“The previously unreported call comes amid widespread uncertainty about how Trump will reset the global diplomatic chessboard of U.S. allies and adversaries.”
It is noteworthy that after this, Russia raised 8 bombers into the air, which subsequently “launched missiles.” And, of course, these missiles would have flown towards Ukraine, but later Telegram monitoring channels wrote that the launches were imitation, because the missiles were not recorded in Ukrainian airspace. Subsequently, all TU-95MS aircraft turned towards their base airfields, and the MiG-31K aircraft landed. I wonder what Putin wanted to say with this? We are waiting for your comments.
It is noteworthy that, according to The Washington Post, the Ukrainian authorities knew about Trump's call to Putin and did not object to the conversation. Ukrainian officials allegedly understood that Trump would interact with the Russian dictator regarding a diplomatic solution to the Ukrainian problem. However, it later became known that Kiym was not informed about the first conversation between US President-elect Donald Trump and Russian dictator Putin, Reuters writes. Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesman Georgiy Tykhyi said that Kyiv knew nothing about the potential conversation between Trump and Putin. I quote: “Reports that the Ukrainian side was informed in advance about the proposed call are erroneous. Accordingly, Ukraine could not approve or oppose the call.”
Moreover, the press secretary of the bunker Peskov denied holding a conversation between Putin and Trump. He assured that there are no specific plans to organize a telephone conversation between Russian dictator Vladimir Putin and newly elected US President Donald Trump, Russian media write. “This is the most obvious example of the quality of information sometimes published in respected publications. This does not correspond to reality. This is pure fiction, false information,” said the spokesman for the Russian dictator.
Trump's statements
Trump has repeatedly claimed that after being elected president, he will be able to stop the war in Ukraine “within 24 hours.” He claimed that there would have been no war at all if he had been sitting at the Oval Table in the White House.
However, he did not specify how exactly. According to media reports, his “peace plan” may include freezing the front line and postponing Ukraine's ambitions to join NATO. In exchange, the United States will provide Ukraine with a large amount of weapons. US President-elect Donald Trump said that he intends to “bring Russia and Ukraine to the negotiating table” after he takes office in the White House. It is noteworthy that Trump's press secretary Caroline Leavitt said that during his first week in office, Trump will issue dozens of executive orders.
Conversation between Zelensky and Trump
Earlier, Donald Trump confirmed that he had spoken with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, but did not disclose the details of this conversation. At the same time, Zelensky said that he and Trump had agreed to “maintain a close dialogue and develop cooperation.” I quote: “I had a great conversation with President Donald Trump and congratulated him on his historic landslide victory – his remarkable campaign made this result possible. I praised his family and team for their excellent work. Strong and steadfast U.S. leadership is vital for peace and for a just world.”
Where would we be without Elon Musk
It is noteworthy that later the media reported that billionaire and inventor Elon Musk, who has been actively criticizing Ukraine lately, took part in a telephone conversation between Zelensky and Trump after the elections. This was reported by the Axios portal. According to the publication, Elon Musk also assured Zelensky that he would continue to support Ukraine through his Starlink satellites. As Axios notes, Elon's participation in the conversation indicates how influential he could be in the second Trump administration. Moreover, Elon Musk subsequently hinted that the war in Ukraine would soon end. “The senseless killings will soon end. Under the Nesweek post about the “Trump peace plan” he left the comment “The senseless killings will soon end. The time for warmongers and profiteers is over.” And what do you think Elon Musk wanted to say with this? ? Write to us in the comments Let me remind you that this “plan” provides for freezing the war in Ukraine. In particular, the creation of a demilitarized zone with the deployment of British and European troops.
By seven-mile strides
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban also expressed his opinion on the end of the war in Ukraine. “We have come not one step closer to peace, but seven miles at once,” the politician commented on the results of the American elections. According to him, now everyone is “thinking about How Trump Will Achieve Peace” in Ukraine.
What the Experts Say
At the same time, American political scientist Adrian Karatnycky believes that the Trump administration will not accept the conditions of the Russian “Fuhrer” Vladimir Putin. The team of the newly elected US President Donald Trump is considering the possibility of a “Baltic option” regarding the territories of Ukraine temporarily occupied by Russia. I quote: “I think they want a ceasefire, an end to the active phase of the war. Obviously, the acceptance by both sides of the territorial distribution that exists, but without recognizing Russia's annexation of the captured territories and looking for other ways to return them.” According to him, this is a “Baltic option.” He explains that America will not recognize the occupied territories as part of Russia and will extend sanctions, but at the same time will postpone Ukrainian membership in NATO, “as they write, for 20 years.” According to Karatnycky, the Russian conditions for a peaceful settlement will also change. According to Karatnycky, the Trump administration will not accept the conditions of the Russian “Fuhrer” Vladimir Putin. In particular, regarding the demilitarization of Ukraine. Speaking about Washington's possible leverage over Putin, the expert talks about Russian assets in Europe, which Trump can force to use for the needs of Ukraine. Mainly for the purchase of American weapons. Donald Trump will not agree to “Ukraine's capitulation” also because of Europe's position, Karatnycky emphasized. After all, the politician will not want to create a crisis in relations between the US and Europe, because America is also looking for alliances for further play with China and to counter threats from undemocratic countries. According to Karatnycky, the traditional wing formed “in the Reagan era” (about 50% of Trump's voters) retains a great deal of influence within the Republican Party, which, I quote: “has a very negative attitude toward Putin.”
Putin on Ukraine
Putin recently spoke at a meeting of the Valdai International Discussion Club, where he stated that Ukraine should become neutral, and its borders should be where “the people want”! Putin once again stated that Russia is ready for peace talks on Ukraine, named a condition for “good neighborliness” and spoke about “new borders”.
The Russian dictator also claimed that Ukraine does not need a truce “for half an hour or six months”, but conditions for a long-term settlement. He named the neutral status of Ukraine as a condition for “good neighborliness” from the Russian Federation. “If there is no neutrality, it is difficult to imagine any good neighborly relations between the Russian Federation and Ukraine,” Putin said. According to him, Russia allegedly respected the borders of Ukraine as a neutral state. At the same time, Putin brazenly claimed that he was striving for Ukraine to “become an independent, sovereign state” and called the Russian and Ukrainian people “brotherly”, despite “today's tragic events”.
According to Putin, Russia is ready for peace talks, but not on the basis of Kiev's “whims”, but on the basis of “Istanbul” and I quote: “the realities of today”. Thus, Putin once again offered the Ukrainians to agree to capitulation.
Recall that the largest operation to deport illegal migrants will be carried out in the USA. Donald Trump has announced that former ICE Director Tom Goman will join his administration and will be responsible for deporting illegal immigrants and securing the U.S. border.
