The President of the United States Donald Trump denied the statements of the Kremlinaccording to which Vladimir Putin he would have asked for the complete cessation of the military aid and the supplies of intelligence to Kiev during their phone call yesterday.
“No, (Putin) did not ask for anything, we didn’t talk about aid. We talked about many things, but not of aid“, he replied Trump to Fox Newswho asked him confirmation of the information arrived from Fly.
Putin he accepted on Tuesday to temporarily stop attacks on energy structures Ukrainian, but refused to support a cease-fire complete with 30 days, that Trump he hoped would be the first step towards an agreement permanent peace.
Meanwhile, the Russia “Attack civil infrastructures and people “,« a Sumya Russian drone shahed hit a hospital».
He writes it on social media The main collaborator of Volodymyr Zelensky and boss Kiev negotiator at the table with the USA, Andriy Yermak.
Fiona Hill: “European security is threatened”
“The head of the Kremlin He got what he wanted. The security system born from First and Second World War It’s over. The European they are threatened together by Russia, USA and China: if they don’t understand that the time has come to build theirs defensesthe consequences will be very gloomy ».
So he declared a Repubblica Fiona Hillformer director for Europe in National Security Council from the White house in the first term of Trump.
The call between the leaders, «judging by the two press releases, was not very satisfactory for the White house. Putin He repeats his maximalistic positions, such as the end of military aid and of intelligence to Zelensky. Considering that Trump he already had the agreement in his hand on respite with theUkraineprobably expected to convince him. But it is not clear using which lever, apart from selling Kiev.
The one in progress looks like a more than anything else personal negotiation between them two, to define the bilateral relationshipson the head of the Ukrainian and of European».
The position of the Kremlin: a partial respite to encourage dialogue with Trump
«The most important thing is that both parties remain committed to resolving the Ukrainian conflict Bilaterally, this is the key word ».
This is what he said, interviewed by Corriere della Sera, Dmitri Suslovprofessor among the most listened to councilors of foreign policy of Kremlin.
«There is the clear political will of Trump And Putin – he adds – to carry on the Russian-American cooperationnot only onUkrainebut also on the overall agenda of our relationships ».
The stop to the attacks at energy infrastructure “It’s a gesture of goodwill of the Russian president towards Trumpto allow him to justify his approach according to which the Cooperation with Moscow pay.
Objectively, theUkraine he suffered more attacks on this type of structuresand the partial respite It makes sense, also to demonstrate that there is progress. “
Did not join the cease-fire complete «because a general respite cannot and must not be used for the rimilitarization of Ukraine. Putin He said it clearly during the call: a cease general fire It is possible only if there is simultaneously the cessation of all kinds of military assistance American and western a Kiev».
What will be the next moves?
What happens now?
Firstwe will see how theUkrainebut I think the nature of the Relations between Americans and Ukrainians does not allow Zelensky to say no.
SecondThe Russian and American experts they will start meeting, probably in Middle Eastnot just to regulate the Ukrainian conflictbut also to face the general picture.
They will also discuss topics such as theIran and his nuclear programand not least the strategic strategic.
The Ukrainian “Only in the discussion on the final agreement, once all the nodes have been dissolved” will be involved “.
