The diplomatic “hide and sought” with negotiations with Istanbul shows the neglect of Russia’s dictator to Trump.
Russian president Vladimir Putin did not fly to Turkey negotiations, as he considered the internal damage greater than the opportunity to meet the head of the United States and the President of Ukraine. The Kremlin is also not afraid of further penalties and pressure from Europe, Nick Paton Walsh, British journalist, editor of the CNN International Security Department.
And Putin’s decision may have been paid, Walsh added, reminding Trump’s first reaction to the Kremlin’s refusal category to participate in direct negotiations.
What Trump said
The US president told reporters that when it came to peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, “nothing would happen until he” personally met Vladimir Putin.
“Nothing happens until Putin meets, and, obviously, he won’t go (in negotiations-ed.). He’s going, but he thought I was going. He wouldn’t go without me, and I couldn’t believe something would happen to you or not, until we met him. But we had to decide this issue, because Trumph told the journalists.” Board Air Force One after landing in Abu Dhabi.
He added that he was not disappointed that Putin was not included in the Russian delegation sent to Turkey for a high level with Ukraine: “I’m not disappointed.”
“Why would I fail? We only got 4 trillion dollars, and you failed the delegation? I didn’t know anything about the delegation, I didn’t even check it,” he continued.
Hope Friday
In addition, Walsh added that there is still a little hope that on Friday in Istanbul a meeting will be held at a high level. According to the journalist, the Russian delegation has a lower technical level, which also does not match the senior of US secretary Marco Rubio,
“This is probably a bargain about a bilateral meeting with Trump, or clear conditions or concessions at the presidential summit, or, perhaps, the Kremlin accidentally participated in everything. We will never know it,” Walsh added.
Choice for all
Now Zelensky is facing a difficult choice. He had to stay in Turkey for a long time for Trump to know that he was seriously configured to meet, but not too long that he seemed to be waiting at the Kremlin, the observer wrote.
He needs to reject Moscow’s initiative in Turkey as belated and inadequate, or confessing to it, thus opening a new phase of peace negotiations, which has hardly moved away in the last three months.
Trump also faces a difficult choice – he now needs to make a difficult decision. The American leader could no longer postpone the answer to the question of whether Putin would have the consequences: The Kremlin openly rejected the request of a 30-day ceasefire, as well as personal negotiations with Trump as a mediator.
“The only consistent response for the White House remains” big -scale penalties “, warned by French President Emmanuel Macron. However, the first signals from Qatar suggest that Trump is probably not in a hurry to recognize the failure of a peaceful process. It will probably be his most important solution in the context of this conflict,” Paton Walsh’s belief.
