Donald Trump had a conversation with Russia’s Vladimir Putin before today’s call.
However, the outcome of the conversation appears to be insignificant.
Putin has given Trump just enough information to claim progress towards peace in Ukraine without appearing manipulated by the Kremlin.
Trump can point to Putin’s pledge to halt attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure for 30 days.
The conversation between the two presidents lasted more than two hours.
Russia and the US are discussing Middle East peace and global security.
There is no sign of pressure being applied on Russia regarding the ceasefire.
Russia repeats its claim of wanting peace but is still contributing to the conflict.
The US has not agreed to any of Russia’s demands yet.
Ukrainians believe that the call is evidence that Russia has no interest in ending its invasion.
Overall, the conversation brings minimal relief to Ukraine and is disappointing for US diplomacy. But for the Kremlin, it feels like a positive outcome.Source: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cwyg2kzkggvo
