Donald Trump's two-hour telephone call to Vladimir Putin may be a start to possibly at least months of negotiations between the 2 parties, possibly leading to lasting peace in the future. Various crucial circumstances do not indicate that, although both presidents referred to each another by name, this would happen very quickly. Putin called the conversation with Trump significant, sincere and very useful. He expressed his gratitude to Trump for his participation in the reopening of direct negotiations between Russia and Ukraine. As Russia advocates the end of war, it is essential to make the most effective routes leading to peace. Putin said it was besides established that Russia was ready to make a memorandum with Ukraine, including a ceasefire. Both countries must besides find compromises that match both sides. Which will surely be the most hard task. In addition, Russia and Ukraine are "generally on track" after the reopening of direct negotiations. A ceasefire is possible erstwhile appropriate agreements are reached. Which besides announces at least many months of talks, as agreements can be signed after the causes of the war itself have been eliminated.
Trump answers
Trump was besides to be pleased with the conversation and stated that Russia and Ukraine would immediately begin negotiations on the ceasefire and the complete end of the war. The conditions are to be agreed jointly by both parties. Trump besides supported the desire to grow large-scale trade with the US when, as said, this "blood bath" ends. He besides praised Russia for having the possible to make jobs and increase prosperity. He besides stated that Ukraine could become a crucial beneficiary of trade relations in the process of rebuilding its country. Thus, Trump, with his commercial approach, would like to reintegrate both countries in the free circulation, which we know would not have been done without a proposal. As it is known from Ukraine has already gained a contract on minerals, so the question remains what he could offer Putin if Trump is willing to re-enter, on a larger scale, Russia into his country if, after all, America does business with this country despite the war.
Assertive Żeleński
The Żielenski's answer could only have been 1 and I don't think she disappointed anyone. He stated that Ukraine would not retreat troops from part of its territory and that Russia would not be ultimatumed. And I think he said a small naively that he asked Trump not to accept anything about Ukraine without Ukraine. He besides stated that refusal to join NATO and neutrality would not be discussed. Żeleński himself in consequence to the proposal of direct talks between Russia and Ukraine proposed an extended expression with the US and Europe, which is now known to support the war course, becoming a collective hawk by creating a coalition of willing. However, he said that Ukraine could sign a memorandum with Russia that would lead to an agreement to end the war. It is clear, therefore, that despite the resumption of talks after more than 3 years, the substance can stand inactive for a long time, and the courtesy talks of the Presidents of Russia and the United States can barely change here if the real problem is not only Żeleński but besides most likely the full environment, which was seemingly besides during negotiations in Istanbul. The planet will so gotta wait for the next circular of negotiations and look at possible changes in the approach to solve this pressing problem, stopping unnecessary death at the front.
