Ukraine: the USA, we are at the last mile. Tomorrow Putin-Trump phone call

We have never been closer today to a Peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine. This was stated by the spokesman for the White House, Karolin Leavitt. “We are at the last mile (literally:” Ten Iarde “, NDA) towards peace, we have never been closer today to an agreement and the president is determined To obtain one, “Leavitt said at the press conference.

The Kremlin confirmed that tomorrow the Russian and American presidents will speak On the phone in an interview which will have the possible agreement at the center to put an end to the war. Vladimir Putin e Donald Trump They return to talk to each other after Russia has, in fact, postponed to the sender the 30 -day truce proposal that came out of Gedda’s interviews between the Ukrainian and American delegations, inviting the parties to modify it on the basis of his interests.

Last week, Putin said he agreed with the idea of ​​a fire, but he warned that he had “serious questions” on how he would be implemented. “We want to see if we can put an end to this war,” Trump reiterated. “Maybe we can do it, maybe not, but I think we have excellent possibilities.” The Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky, accepted the partial respite, while his European allies criticized Putin for not working to stop the fighting immediately and without conditions.

The suspicion is that Moscow aims to prolong the negotiations for as long as possible, since he believes he is in the lead on the military level. Russia, albeit at a high price, is regaining land on the enemy in its southern region of Kursk, While the pause in the sharing of intelligence wanted by the United States damaged Ukrainian forces.

“We will talk about earth”, anticipated the US president, “and we will talk about energy plants, this is a great question”. The reference should be at the Zaporizhzia plant, conquered by the Russians in the first days of the war, and which is located in one of the regions that Moscow has annexed to the Russian Federation, but which only partially controls. There sale of territories (Russia occupies almost 20% of Ukraine)It is among the most delicate issues of negotiations.

Several officials of the US administration have admitted that Kiev will have to concessions in exchange for peace. Putin has placed the RCrimea iconoscimento and the four regions annexed to the south-east Among the conditions to adhere to a ceasefire, together with the veto on Ukrainian adhesion to NATO and an agreement of non -deployment of foreign troops in Ukraine. Kiev continues to reiterate that territorial integrity is a “red line” on which he will not swear, but has proven himself flexible on the hypothesis of a revocation of the sanctions and the renunciation of the entry into the Atlantic alliance.

With a Russian perspective, the territorial conquests are only an exchange pawn in a negotiation, which for Putin has as its end a new security architecture in Europe that establishes a red line for the expansion towards the east of NATO in the next decades. For this reason, even the issues related to bilateral relations with the United States will be crucial in tomorrow’s phone call.
