According to the expert, Trump and his managers should find another alternative to ceasefire in Ukraine.
Foreign Policy stressed that even if Trump reaches a ceasefire in Ukraine, it will face other difficulties / UNIAN collage, photo UNIANPresident of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky and Russian dictator Volodymyr Putin would have to show US leader Donald Trump within three months, which have a chance for a comprehensive settlement of a conflict that would have arranged both sides and provided a long peace. About it writes a senior researcher of the Council of International Relations and an honorary professor of the School of International and Public Relations of Columbia University Stephen Sestanovich for Foreign Policy.
“Putin especially insists that any agreement should be aimed at eliminating the so -called” root causes “of conflict, and he has made it clear how he defines them. For him, the essence of the problem is the stubborn resistance of Ukraine to Russian dominance and its determination to protect its sovereignty. Requirements for settlement, ” – explained the author of the material.
According to Sestanovich, the fact that the complete settlement of the war is impossible, means that Trump and his managers should work within another alternative, namely “termination of hostilities, which postpones major unresolved issues to some indefinite” peaceful process “(in which they may never be solved).”
“The President could prefer to achieve a” big, beautiful “agreement, but unfortunately, a simple truce is all that is on the table. Achieving even this purpose – and ensuring its duration – will be obliged to stop making the most obvious mistakes Trump’s team,” the expert analyzes.
Sestanovich recalled that because Zelensky and Putin have opposite positions that make it impossible to conclude a complete peace agreement, they will try to add some of their more serious purposes to the truce.
He explained:
“That is why US officials continue to emphasize that NATO membership and the complete restoration of lost territories are not realistic goals for Ukraine. However, anyone who understands why these issues should not be discussed during ceasefire negotiations, will certainly see how unreasonable it would be to assume No Ukrainian government could agree at this stage of negotiations, Trump sabotaged his own potential agreement. ”
According to Professor, if Trump, despite many mistakes, can still reach a almost complete ceasefire, then the greatest threat he will face is how to make it that it is not broken.
“Pauses in wartime, if they come, are often short. Remember how regular ceasefire agreements between Israel and Hamas are regularly violated, or how many times the Israeli -Palestinian talks about the creation of two states were interrupted by new outbreaks of violence,” the author compared.
According to the expert, in order to build a strong peace, Trump has to understand what harm he had already done because of his mistakes, because he acted as if Ukraine “was a short -term problem, and Russia was a long -term opportunity.”
“In fact, everything is almost the opposite. It will not stop the murder forever, if it does not consider Russia as its direct obstacle, and Ukraine – as the ultimate measure of its achievements,” Sestanovich summed up.
