He noted that Putin managed to force the United States to put forward such conditions that Ukraine cannot accept because everyone understands – it is surrender.
German political scientist told how Putin leads Trump by his nose / UNIAN collage, photo ReutersUS President Donald Trump does not understand that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin plays with him.
This opinion was expressed by foreign policy expert, Professor of Cologne University, US and Russian expert Thomas Yegger, analyzing the latest negotiating statements of the White House Head, Bild writes.
After yesterday’s rocket strike on an apartment building in Kiev, Trump posted on the social network an appeal to Putin “Vladimir, stop!”. However, experts doubt that such a call is enough to stop Russian strikes in Ukraine and warn of the possible consequences of the ill -advised US peace plan.
Yegger believes that if Putin decides not to stop, then he will be nothing.
“The consequences such as increasing US sanctions, increasing the supply of weapons to Ukraine, and political pressure on the Allies – this can only be dreamed of,” the political scientist stated.
According to the expert, Trump will continue to allow Putin to drive himself by his nose.
“Russia seeks the US to stop Ukraine’s support,” he emphasized, which is why Putin managed to force the United States to put forward such conditions that Ukraine cannot accept because everyone understands – it is the “Capitulation of Ukraine. End of Ukraine”.
Yegger also said that Trump Putin threats in the form of “high taxes, duties and sanctions”, if he is not ready for a peace agreement, is not relevant.
The German political scientist added that in addition, the United States should not be expected to increase Ukraine’s military support. According to the expert, now this support depends on Ukraine’s readiness for peace talks. So, if Ukraine does not agree to the imposed peace, weapons will not be increased.
“Trump does not understand that Putin plays with him,” Eger said.
Negotiations on UkraineTrump will lose patience against Ukraine and threatens to get out of the negotiation process. The fact is that he expected to quickly persuade Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky and Russian dictator Vladimir Putin to make concessions, but it was difficult.
This is evidenced by the disruption of the negotiations in London, which happened because of the reluctance of Kiev to make concessions. The world media wrote that Kiev prefers “to discuss the full ceasefire first, and everything else is then.”
