It seems that you are recording a few steps forward on the Ukrainian crisis. This is what emerges from the close phone call, a few hours ago, between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin.
“The leaders have agreed that the peace movement will begin with a ceased the energy and infrastructure fire, as well as with technical negotiations on the implementation of a ceased the maritime fire in the Black Sea, a ceased the complete fire and permanent peace. “The leaders spoke widely of the Middle East as a region of potential cooperation to prevent future conflicts”, reads again. “The two leaders shared the opinion that Iran should never be able to destroy Israel”, continues the note, which also underlines the will, expressed by both sides, to strengthen the relationships between Washington and Moscow.
On the other hand, the Kremlin stressed that he had accepted the 30 -day fire relating to energy infrastructure. It also made it known that there will be an important exchange of prisoners with Ukraine, however adding to consider “the complete cessation of foreign military aid and the supply of intelligence information to Kiev”.
A Russian source told the CNN that the interview would go “very well”. Trump said about the same opinion that, in a post on Truth, he said: “My telephone conversation today with the Russian president Putin was very good and productive. All this suggests that both sides are satisfied with how the call between the two presidents took place.
In short, Putin did not accept the proposal of a ceased the complete fire of 30 days, which had been processed in Gedda by Americans and Ukrainians. However, the Tsar agreed to a partial respite, opening to immediate negotiations to further extend it. It is not known, at the moment, what the real intentions of the Kremlin are. In fact, it is possible that Putin points to leverage his position of force on the field, especially in Kursk and Donbass, to take time and strengthen on the level of peace negotiations. However attention: Trump knows that the tsar is debilitated in the Middle East both for the fall of Bashar al Assad and for the weakening of Iran. And this is a lever that the White House is using to try to soften the Russian position on the Ukrainian dossier. Not surprisingly, in the phone call between Trump and Putin, there was also talk of the Middle East.
