“Despite all his bravada, Trump did not put any pressure on Putin – so far. Zero, nothing,” the source said.
At the same time, the unnamed Ukrainian high -ranking official told the publication that in Kiev they were trying to maintain optimism on the meeting of Trump and Putin, hoping that the Kremlin’s master considers the possibility of a partial cease ceasefire that will stop air strikes in Ukraine.
“In general, we all understand that the end of the war depends entirely on Trump. As the first step, it would be good if a partial ceasefire was announced – everything except the line of contact,” the interlocutor said.
According to him, signals about Russia’s readiness for the agreement are heard from non -public sources.
“However, the trust between the parties is completely destroyed,” the official added.
He noted that talking about a partial ceasefire can be nothing more than Russia’s tactical course to reassure Trump and give him a political victory on the eve of the intermediate elections.
Such an agreement will not put an end to the war, but will give Trump the opportunity to say “something like” I stopped the daily murder of hundreds of innocent civilians, “a source added.
Officially, European Union representatives expressed skepticism about Putin’s intentions.
“It is quite obvious that Russia is not interested in peace as such, because we see it in its actions, not in words,” said EU foreign spokeswoman Anita Hipper on Thursday.
The Kremlin’s assistant, Yuri Ushakov, reported to reporters that the next week is probably a meeting of Putin and US President Donald Trump next week.
Trump himself has publicly declared “good chances” to meet with the Kremlin master Vladimir Putin in the near future.
The ruler of Russia believes that the United Arab Emirates are suitable for holding a summit – the United States at the level of leaders.
