President Donald Trump announced on Sunday that he is likely to talk to Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday. Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov and the White House later confirmed the phone.
Trump wants to fulfill his campaign promises by signing a deal with Putin to end the war in Ukraine, which he called “Bloodbus.”
Here’s what is expected and what is not expected from their conversation.
Both Trump and Putin are probably honest and respectful to each other, continuing to showcase their diplomatic skills and talent. Unlike former President Biden and his VP Kamala Harris, Trump doesn’t scorn Putin by frequently getting mad at Putin’s repetition and calling him a “murderer.” The art masters of the covenant know how to dance the diplomatic waltz.

Under the facade, neither Trump nor Putin trust each other. Despite his smile and positive gestures, in his first term, Trump pursued the most powerful anti-Roysia policy since Ronald Reagan. He approved lethal aid to Ukraine, approved the Nodstream 2 pipeline, expelled Russian spies who operated in embassies pose as diplomats, closed three Russian facilities in the United States, and served effectively as a base for spying to target his hometown. Trump has also taken several steps to ease Russia’s ability to harness vulnerabilities in the highly tech-dependent US war.
Next, Putin sees Trump, a very difficult and valuable enemy. Bush, Obama and Biden are unpredictable and difficult to manipulate the way Russian dictators played the previous president. When asked by journalists in 2017 whether Trump was disappointed in trump after Russian diplomatic facilities were closed in New York, Washington and San Francisco, Putin called the question “naive.” The former KGB operative said Trump “is not my bride and I am not his groom.”

In 2018, after a summit in Helsinki, Putin laughed at the idea that Trump trusted him. Putin told journalists. “he [Trump] I defend my interests in the United States and Russia. ”
Certainly, emotions and emotions are not part of the documentation that serious and strong heads of states use when dealing with each other, especially with regard to Russia and the United States.
There was no breakthrough on Tuesday when it comes to substantial aspects of Trump Putin’s deal in Ukraine. However, both parties may report positive progress without specific details.

A 30-day ceasefire contract is unachievable. Putin is very unlikely to be forced to accept a ceasefire as he is ready to fight to the bitter end.
As President Trump recently admitted, Putin “holds all the cards.” As recently proposed by US Treasury Department Scott Bescent and Kevin Hassett, director of the National Economic Council, Washington could apply even more severe economic pressures to Moscow, perhaps even more severe economic pressures. Hassett claimed there was a “one of many things” ready to be used as part of his “carrot or stick” strategy to put pressure on Putin.
However, the Russians believe Team Trump is bluffing, suggesting that it is too dangerous to play cards with global economic impacts. Russians believe that more aggressive sanctions on Russia’s energy sector will backfire, and here they will bring even higher prices. Anyway, Moscow believes it can weather the sanctions, as it has done before. Certainly, there have been no economic sanctions that have changed Putin’s behavior in the past decade.

President Trump finds dealing with Putin more difficult than he thought. Trump by making his campaign promises They may have given Putin leverage and wrapped themselves in an unattainable time frame. Trump’s Russian advisors should have been clearly laid out for the commander of the complexities of the Russian-Ukraine issue, where Washington forced Ukraine into NATO in the first place.
Russian media praises Putin’s “Six Word” message.My za mir, no est ‘nyuansyin Russian), referring to Putin’s recently aired statement, he claimed that Russia was for peace, but “nuanced.” On Sunday, Trump claimed he was “a bit ironic” when he promised a campaign trail to end the Russian-Ukraine war in 24 hours.

Speaking to a journalist in Air Force 1 on Sunday night, Trump sounded more realistic and transparent.
“We want to see if we can end that war,” he said. “We probably can’t do it, but I think we have a very good opportunity.”
If the chief commander realizes that Putin is attracting him, he cancels the phone and leaves. Putin stew can soften him, and encourage a comeback if the Russians really want peace. The confusion that President Trump inherited from Biden and the Europeans will almost certainly not be resolved by phone.
