Vladimir Trifonov to FACTI: Trump and Putin discussed the conflict in Ukraine, but also stability in Eurasia (VIDEO)

A conversation between Putin and Trump was expected even before the American president took office. The conversation was delayed, but it still took place. The very fact that the leaders of two nuclear superpowers like the USA and Russia spoke is something positive. It is positive from the point of view of the fact that the world today is facing a crisis that we have not known since the Caribbean crisis in 1962. This was announced to Lili Marinkova in the studio “FACTI“ and the program “Conversation“ by international analyst Assoc. Prof. Vladimir Trifonov.

“An armed conflict has been going on in Europe for three years now, and many other countries that support Ukraine are indirectly involved in it. The very fact that the idea of negotiations, of talks between the two leaders at the highest level, prevails is something positive. We will see what it will lead to. But we can still mark conditions and trends that are visible. Trump emphasized in his statement that the United States will not engage directly in this armed conflict, and they insist that the main support of Ukraine and its armed forces be taken over by the European Union. Europe also hinted that they do not see a prospect and do not support the idea of Ukraine being admitted to NATO. For Russia, the key thing is to ensure its security from the western borders. Moreover. President Putin made a statement some time ago that he wants not only to reach an agreement with the US and Europe, but also to guarantee strategic security in Eurasia," Trifonov added.

"So it can be assumed that in the conversation that lasted over an hour between Trump and Putin, not only issues related to the conflict in Ukraine were discussed, but also the entire strategic stability in Eurasia. So far, we have not had an official statement from Moscow, but the position repeatedly expressed by President Putin and other prominent Russian diplomats and statesmen is that Russia insists on a neutral status for Ukraine, and that significant NATO weapons, which pose a strategic threat to Russian security, should not be deployed on its territory. Trump is giving signals that he is ready to resolve the conflict and has stated this repeatedly, but the bad thing here is that similar points of view are not heard from the European Union, there is no clear thesis on what and how is good for Europe“, he also shared
