"This looks like a fresh violent attack on Ukraine erstwhile Russia as an aggressor demands further concessions from Ukraine, Before peace can be concluded, demanding the cessation of the transportation of Ukraine's arms and the end of Ukrainian mobilization, he assesses on Wednesday "Berlinske" and adds that "Putin continues to act as if Ukraine were attacking Russia alternatively than the another way around".
According to the Danish Journal, Russia's commitment to a 30-day ceasefire for energy infrastructure is only "microscopic step" towards peace And it's gonna take a fewer days to see who truly benefits from the arrangements between Trump and Putin.
“Trump has no courage”
As the Danish diary says, Trump seemingly has no courage to put force on Putin, but only on his allyPresident of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenski. "At the same time, it is illogical and aggressive for the US to launch an aggressive trade war against European friends, giving up economic, political and military force on Russia," he stresses.
The Madrid paper "ABC" states that " Trump's ambitious plans for an immediate ceasefire in Ukraine are getting out of control". Thus, as the paper noted, the ceasefire will be even more limited than what Ukraine had previously agreed to.
Soviet negotiating manual
Another Spanish paper "El Pais" estimates that Trump's conversation with Putin did not bring crucial solutions, showing a "no flexibility" Russian. In the opinion of the newspaper, negotiations on peace in Ukraine will most likely be overturned by the excessive demands of the Kremlin, and Putin will effort to blame them for not bringing them to the authorities in Kiev.
"Putin, according to the old russian negotiating manual, delays the deadlines and accepts only the kind of truce that suits him best" “El Mundo” wrote. According to the newspaper, Tuesday's talk is actually a Russian ‘art’ to buy time. "Russia upholds its maximumist demands," wrote the newspaper, noting that the Kremlin is actually demanding the surrender of Ukraine.
"Now all a Russian autocrat has to do is play on time, which is the basis of an old russian negotiating textbook, so Trump will get tired, pushing Ukraine to accept anything or again halt military aid for Kiev“ He writes the journal.
Donald Trump's actual goal
"As a consequence of almost 2 hours of talks, the Presidents of Russia and the US found a common ground", "they agreed to proceed to communicate," explains the French paper "Liberation".
Radio France Inter recalls that Ukraine in talks with the US agreed to a 30-day unconditional truce. Putin, in turn, "accepted only a partial truce" concerning energy facilities. This difference “shows that Putin sets his own terms, and does not accept the current project proposed by the U.S. side’, states the commentator. "The only real question that cannot be answered is Donald Trump's behaviour in this telephone conversation. U.S. president wants an agreement at all costs to put diplomatic success in his balance sheet" — evaluates France Inter.
