Trump’s ceasefire pivot will have caused dismay in Kyiv

There is no deal in Alaska. He was probably always, and in the absence of Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelinski, and perhaps the most desirable result.

But the axis of US President Donald Trump away from the need for an immediate ceasefire, which he previously said he wanted, would cause deep panic in Kiev and around Europe.

Russia’s position has always been that the ceasefire could only come in the context of a comprehensive settlement, taking into account the interests of Russia – and definitely indicates the surrender of Ukraine.

This is the position that Trump, again, has been supported.

Not only that, but it has been widely reported that Russia’s demands include the withdrawal of Ukrainian forces from the eastern regions of Donabas, which Russia is currently not maintaining, in exchange for the freezing of southern lines, in Zaburizhia and Jeruson.

“This has been determined by everything that the best way to end the terrible war between Russia and Ukraine,” he wrote about social truth, “is to go directly to the peace agreement.”

He pointed out that “often does not withstand.”

This appears to fly against the main demand of Ukraine, approved by all its European supporters: that the unconditional ceasefire must come first.

More importantly, he also buys the time of Russia Vladimir Putin in the battlefield, where he was convinced that he was winning.

“If Putin’s military goal is to avoid urgent restrictions on Russian operations in Ukraine, it seems that he has succeeded,” says Matthew Savil, director of military science at the Royal United Services Institute.

Ian Bond, deputy director of the former British European Reform Center, said that the regional demand in Moscow was not ongoing.

“If Trump believes that Zelinski will agree to abandon the cities of the fort in Donetsk Oblast, only to get Putin to stop the war, he is out of his mind,” he said.

“He explains how he still understands the situation and the geography of Ukraine.”

In their short journalistic appearance last night, Putin warned Ukraine and the Europeans against “throwing pain” in the unlimited progress of progress he and Trump.

But that, for Kev and his allies, is exactly what Trump did, as he retracted the achievements of what they all hoped for in the previous week, successful of the hectic diplomacy that aims to influence the result in Alaska.

It is a reminder, as if Trump’s tendency was needed to echo the opinions of the last person to get his ear.

For a short time this morning, the European leaders had breathed, pending knowing whether their efforts were fruitful or set aside.

According to his speech before the summit, Trump arrived on the phone to Zelinski. The two men spoke for an hour, before joining European leaders.

Zelinski said the call was “long and objective” and that he would travel to Washington on Monday for his first visit since the catastrophic oval office in February.

Many have happened since then, as the European Kiev allies have been working hard to repair the damage and the Zelensky school in the best way to deal with the volatile and volatile White House worker.

“I am grateful to the call,” Zelesky published, adding, “It is important that America’s strength has an impact on the situation.”

But in a later post, after Trump’s statement on the social truth, Zelinski adopted a more urgent tone.

“The killings should stop as soon as possible,” he said. “The fire should stop in the battlefield and in the sky, as well as against the infrastructure of the ports.”

“Trump Humsersers” picked up in Europe this morning, where they stopped last week.

They highlighted the vital importance of engaging Ukraine in talks about its future, but they also stopped, as they know they should do regularly, to show appreciation for Trump’s efforts.

“The efforts of President Trump have ever made us to end the illegal war of Russia in Ukraine,” said Sir Kerr Starmer, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

Starmer said he welcomed what he called the “openness” of the United States, along with Europe, to provide “strong security guarantees” to Ukraine in the event of a deal.

If the fighting ends in the end, the exact nature of these guarantees will need to clarify it in much more detail than it was so far.

Despite the emerging role in Europe as a major supporter of the army, economic and political in Ukraine, everyone knows that it will be difficult to guarantee future security for Ukraine in the future without objective support to the United States.

Many reports today proposed the idea of guarantees outside NATO, but “inspired by Article 5 of NATO” (the coalition’s collective defense clause) was discussed during this morning call between Trump and European leaders.

It was reported that Trump indicated that the United States will be ready to act if Russia launched another attack on Ukraine.

Evo Daldar, the former American ambassador to NATO, said that it is “not credible” for Ukraine to receive this protection without actually joining the coalition.

“I don’t think President Trump is ready to go to the war against Russia to protect Ukraine,” he told the BBC.

In the clear following Trump around the face this morning, you can hear the sound of minds that revolve across European capitals.

In London, it appears that the government is putting a positive or brave face.

“If you can accomplish all of this [a ceasefire and a peace agreement] A senior source at Downing Street said, one time or in a quick succession, it is clear that it is good.

“But we all want to see the fighting stop.”

Trump has moved away from the idea of an immediate ceasefire, undoubtedly that Putin’s novel is very controversial about how the ceasefire collapsed in the past.

The almost killed in Alaska is a cost -free victory for Putin. The return of an international pariah to the international theater (although one of them is full of unambiguous offers for American military personnel at the Elmendorf-Richardson Airbase base) and some of the decorations of the state visiting.

The threat of increasing US sanctions against Moscow also declined, as Trump said it might take two or three weeks before he had to think about it.

All this raises a set of questions about what Zelinsky might receive, both on Monday in Washington, and when he finds himself in the room with Putin and Trump.

Mr. Bond said:

What advice that Trump gives to Ukraine, Sean Hanity asked Fox.

“A deal contract”, the explicit response came. “Russia is very big and they are not.”
