Trump and putin
The United States president said that he will gain territory back for Ukraine in the meeting with Putin that takes place on Friday. This meeting would be the first time that a US president has met Putin; the last time Biden met with Putin was in 2021. Russia currently occupies a large amount of Ukrainian territory due to the Russian-Ukrainian war that has been happening for 2 years. As the meeting is set for Friday, Trump says that it will be an initial encounter with Russian president Vladimir Putin witch which means Trump has more meetings planned for the future with Vladimir Putin. Trump has also warned that there will be some land swapping between Ukraine and Russia, which is not the first time he has used the phrase land swapping. Tho it is unclear what Russia will cede to Ukraine, Kyiv, the Ukrainian capital, has not laid a claim to any Russian territory. Trump also said that he will update European leaders if Putin were to promise a fair deal with Ukraine during the talks adding that he will talk to the Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy first out of respect, he also said he would call him first IL call him after, and I may say lots of luck keep fighting, or I may say we can make a deal. Trump also said that he and Zelenskyy get along well, though Trump has blamed the Ukrainian president for the war, which has been going on since February 2022.
Preview Changes (opens in a new tab)
Trump has plans for a meeting that includes both the Ukrainian president and the Russian president if peace talks go well. This deal also has the interest of the European Union’s Vice President Kaja Kallas, who told American news networks that she wanted the talks to proceed traditionally. She has stressed that Europe has been clear that it will not accept a deal that Ukraine does not agree to. She also stated that if Ukraine is not a part of the deal any nothing will be implemented and the war would go on. The meeting with Trump has a lot at stake for Europe, as a ceasefire could potentially end all the fighting in Ukraine, she also stated. Zelenskyy is expected to attend a virtual meeting with Trump to try and make a ceasefire with Russia. It remains unclear whether Ukraine and its European allies will agree to a deal, given that Zelenskyy and Putin are not on good terms. If Ukraine world agree to a deal with Russia, the United States and European allies, then the year-long war would be over, with land disputes being settled. Through the land, changes can get messy between Ukraine and Russia. Russia, as of today, controls the Ukrainian cities of Zaporizhia, Kherson, and Donetsk. Yet it is unclear if Russia will be willing to return the cities because of their early invasion of Ukraine in 2014, where the Russian army took Crimea, which they still control as of today. Discussing border changes will only start when a peace treaty or a valid ceasefire is agreed on by both Ukraine and Russia. Suppose Russia does not agree to a ceasefire. In that case, Trump has said that Russia will feel pain, which most likely means tariffs and even trade embargoes of Russian goods to America, and if that’s not enough, well, according to Trump, the United States will send high-grade military equipment to Ukraine if Russia does not agree to a ceasefire Putin can’t fool us he said this meeting has a lot more implications for Europe as Russia was the largest euro pion oil exporter with the current sanctions Europe is missing 70 percent of its oil supply so i peace deal could not only help Europe economy but Russia economy to. The stakes have never been higher for Russia and Ukraine. If the meeting tomorrow goes well, then peace might be an option; if not, then the war continues with more lives lost and more fighting.
