The spokesman for the Russian president pushes for a meeting, “which must be adequately prepared”, between Trump and Putin. But the American president begins to have doubts about the resolution of the conflict.
While in Russia the “day of victory” is approaching in memory of the triumph in the Second World War, the conflict currently underway in Ukraine shows no sign of decreasing intensity.
A durable resolution of the conflict is not on the horizon, despite the continuous attempts of the American president. And just talking about the resolution of the conflict, during today’s daily briefing with the Russian press the President’s spokesman, Dimitri Peskovsupported the idea of a bilateral face -to -face meeting between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump. Meeting that has been called “necessary” to arrive at a durable solution of the conflict, but which however “must be adequately prepared”.
Meanwhile, last night, Donald Trump has given an interview a NBC Newswhere he declared, in a very frank way, that reach a peaceful resolution of the war “perhaps it is not possible”. In these months of interviews, direct and indirect, with the Russian and Ukrainian president, Trump has been a very precise idea of the situation: “There is a tremendous hatred, we are talking about a tremendous hatred between these two men (Volodymyr Zelensky and Vladimir Putin) and among the generals”.
The American president, as always, does not use minor terms: he does not lean specific faults for the beginning of hostilities, however he underlines how Russia wants “the whole Ukrainian”, while Zelensky It should “show greater gratitude” for the help from the United States. Finally, yet another warning, if the two parts were to show themselves too rigid on their positions, Washington will stop mediating a peace and instead let Russia and Ukrainian “continue to be stupid”.
He also spoke Vladimir Putin Last night, and he did it during a documentary interview entitled “Russia. Cremlin. Putin. Twenty -five years”, aired on the occasion of the 25th anniversary from his election to President of the Russian Federation in the distant 2000. Answering the questions of a journalist, Putin said that Russia has “enough strength and resources to bring to a logical conclusion what has been started in 2022with the result that Russia needs. “
The Russian president also argued that the start of the “special military operation” in Ukraine had not been premeditated long, “we have not prepared ourselves in a particular way. We have sincerely tried to peacefully solve the Donbass problem. But it was discovered that the other part thought it and acted differently. You see, anyone can be deceived. But I wanted to believe it ». The Kremlin also admits the calculation error at the beginning of the conflict.
Also during the interview, aired on the Russo Russo Canale 1, Putin states that, despite everything, “reconciliation with the Ukrainian people is inevitable”. Surely Zelensky doesn’t think so, who also accused Moscow of “attacking Ukraine every day” Despite the truce proclaimed by the Kremlin from 8 to 10 May, “this is cynicism of the highest level”.
Help for Ukrainian aerial defenses will arrive in the coming months from another battery of the Patriot Air Defense System, previously based in Israel. The system, according to what reported by New York Timeswill be sent after being reconditioned. In short, at the moment the solution of the conflict is still left to the battlefield.
