He pointed to the “biggest obstacle” for Trump. ‘Hard nut to crack’

A fewer days ago, the planet came to a conclusion. agreements in the Gaza Strip about the ceasefire and the release of hostages. Joe Biden stressed that this had been achieved under the plan which he presented last year.

The outgoing U.S. president added that although his administration managed to negociate an agreement, Donald Trump, who supported the solution, would be liable for its implementation. Michael Evans, a writer and commentator, wonders in the British weekly “The Spectator”, If a Republican returning to power can do the same for Ukraine.

Still during the presidential run in United States Trump stressed respective times that erstwhile he returned to the White House, he would end the war in Ukraine in 1 day. From the minute it was decided that he would presume the office of the 47th president of the United States, the members of his administration presented plans to end the armed conflict in Ukraine.

According to Evans, The main obstacle to peace talks and their success is for Donald Trump Vladimir Putin. "Russian president will be a much harder nut to crack, especially since he has shown no real interest in any compromise," the publicist believes.

Putin's imagination of peace does not presuppose Ukraine's membership of NATO or the devotion of lands that his soldiers have occupied since February 2022, which makes the Republican's maneuvering field limited. According to the author, on the first day back to The White House, Trump will “have to quit the unrealistic promise to halt the war”.

Michael Evans finds the plan set up by Trump, a peculiar envoy for Ukraine and Russia, Keith Kellog, to presume the end of the war in 100 days. According to the publicist, for Putin, it will not substance whether negotiations last a day or a fewer monthsbecause he does not have as much to lose as the Israeli Prime Minister Binjamin Netanjahu.

According to a commentary published by The Spectator, the Russian leader, observing from Cream the Biden and Trump administration movement, "surely took into account" the force imposed on Israel and Hamas on the ceasefire.

However, Evans wonders whether the way to implement akin agreements – in a fewer days only by a Republican squad – will make any impression on the president Russia.

“Will Putin be forced to recalculate? Or possibly he'll be playing with the fresh president while reviving his 'special operation' against Ukraine until his troops get even more ground and They will further weaken the negotiating possible Kievin future settlement negotiations?" the author asks.

Russia has suffered considerable losses among soldiers, military equipment or ships of the Black Sea Fleet, but so far it has managed to occupy nearly 20 percent of Ukraine's territory, which – even though it has penetrated the Kursk region, where it is conducting counteroffensive – according to Evans, will have "less bargaining power" during possible negotiations than Moscow.
