Trump Putin’s call is seen as a victory in Russia

Based on some of the main headlines today in Russia, Moscow believes that the latest phone conversation between the presidents Putin and Trump is going well – for sure with the Kremlin.

“Putin and Trump agreed to work together on Ukraine’s decision.”

Putin Trem’s standard call, announces Komsomolskaya Pravda. “While Russia has registered that Russia has recorded a diplomatic victory here,” the paper website adds.

Why do some in Russia claim “victory” after this phone call for two hours?

Perhaps because, in the end, Vladimir Putin has not been pressured in making any major concessions to Ukraine or the United States. On the contrary, he rejected – in fact – the idea of ​​President Trump to stop the unlawful shooting for 30 days.

Instead of pressuring Moscow by threatening the most striking sanctions and sanctions, to bring Russia to participate in its plan, the American administration interacted by praising the Kremlin leader.

“We have received a great call,” Donald Trump told Fox News.

“I would like to praise President Putin for everything he did today regarding this call to transfer his country near a final peace agreement,” said Steve Whizov from Trump.

Moscow not only agreed to the unconditional ceasefire, but President Putin has set its pre -conditions for peace.

It includes an end to Western military assistance to Kyiv and intelligence participation with Ukrainians, as well as stopping mobilization in Ukraine. These conditions are widely seen as a way to secure Ukraine’s surrender.

It is difficult to see Kyiv agrees to any of this.

But can the Trump administration eventually be persuaded by Moscow that such conditions are acceptable? And if so, will Washington forced Ukraine to accept them?

A lot may depend on whether the Kremlin can persuade President Trump, and he has more than that to gain good relationships with Moscow more than defending the angle of Ukraine.

As if to pressure this point, in their talks with the Americans, Russian officials are already hanging on the various economic and financial islands and talking about the extent to which the relationship between Russia and the United States benefited if the two countries can reactivate bilateral relations and work in joint projects.

Vladimir Putin has recently sparked the possibility of the United States of Russia in the production of aluminum and rare mineral mining.

It seems that the message is going through.

“We would like to have more trade with Russia,” Donald Trump said on Tuesday in his interview with Fox News.

“They have some very valuable things for us, including rare land. They have a large part of real estate, the largest in the world. They have things that we can use.”

Moscow may contemplate – perhaps – that Donald Trump will give priority to a part of these “Russian real estate” to secure an acceptable deal for Ukraine to end the war.

It is a point I repeated today by the Pro-Kremlin Izvestia:

“Moscow’s logic is to make economic relations with America profitable that its cut will be very expensive for the United States.”

After Ukraine agreed to the unconditional ceasefire a week ago, the American administration announced that “the ball is present in the (Russia) court.”

Now that Vladimir Putin rejected the deal and set his own conditions, the Kremlin leader returned it to the American “court”.

But Russia and America will continue their discussions – whether on Ukraine or US -Russian relations.

It is these negotiations that may affect Donald Trump’s next step.
