Since Friday, the media has been recording from a gathering between Russian dictator Vladimir Putin and U.S. president Donald Trump, on which the Russian puts on mines and ostentably avoids answering journalists' questions.
His behaviour – full of superiority – attracted the attention of journalists who asked him questions, among others, about civilians dying in Ukraine at the hands of Russian soldiers.
It is not clear how well Putin knows (or understands) English, but at the end of his gathering with Trump he said to him "Next time in Moscow".
Putin was acting unusual at a gathering with Trump.
Let us add that after the gathering of both leaders, a press conference was held, during which both Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump spoke.
During his eight-minute speech, he admitted that if Donald Trump had ruled in 2022, the war in Ukraine would most likely not have happened. He besides stressed that in order to end the war in Ukraine, it is essential to remove "all basic sources, the main causes of this conflict".
Speaking of a possible ceasefire in Ukraine, he stated that after talking to Trump he was 1 step closer. However, more crucial than ending the war seems to him to be resuming trade relations with the US.
That's all Trump and Putin said after the meeting.
– It remains to be hoped that our agreement will open the way to peace in Ukraine. I hope that in Kiev and European capitals they will not accept this as a provocation, and effort to harm possible advancement in this matter," Putin pointed out.
Definitely less, due to the fact that only 3.5 minutes lasted the speech of US president Donald Trump. We besides heard from his mouth that the talks were fruitful and although the key issues were not identified, we are closer to ending the conflict in Ukraine.
– We took a truly large step forward. I have always had a fantastic relation with president Putin," said Donald Trump. – Many points have been agreed, there are only a fewer left. any are not so important, 1 is most likely the most crucial – he added. Here's more about this conference.
At the same time on Saturday, "The fresh York Times" reports that Vladimir Putin is to demand, among another things, that the Russian language will become authoritative in Ukraine and supply protection for the Russian Orthodox Church. Putin is besides to want Ukraine to hand over Russia to Donbas.
According to Axios, during talks with Donald Trump, the Russian leader was to request that the United States recognise the territories of Ukraine occupied by Russia – including Crimea – as part of the Russian Federation. Unofficial media findings thus indicate that Putin is far from seeking peace.
