“He went completely crazy!” If Donald Trump is a follower of the scathing statements, he had not yet made such a use of his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin since his arrival to power.
“I have always had very good relations with Russian (president) Vladimir Putin, but something happened to him.
The massive attacks of Moscow’s nightlife are increasing: according to the Ukraine Air Force, Russia was launched in Ukraine 355 drones on the night of Sunday to Monday, a new record from the beginning of its great large -scale invasion in February 2022. Strikes that Kremlin describes as “response” measures.
“President Putin does what is necessary to guarantee the security of Russia,” said Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov, in response to the criticisms of US President.
A “frustration” for Donald Trump
From his adhesion to the White House on January 20, Donald Trump has been trying to end the war in Ukraine, a campaign promise, when he approached Vladimir Putin, to the detriment of kyiv. In vain.
“Despite two telephone calls, four missions of its special envoy Steve Witkoff in Moscow, the results of the one that is presented as the king of the agreement and transactional diplomacy is very weak: in the best case, an exchange of 1,000 prisoners made in recent days,” said General Jérgan Pellistrandi, BFMTV defense consultant.
“After four months in the White House, Donald Trump can be considered rightly for the Kremlin,” said the latter.
Despite its opening to the negotiations and their proposal of conversations in Istanbul in Türkiye on May 16, the Russian president accentuated his offensive.
“Vladimir Putin is not ‘absolutely crazy’.
On the side of Donald Trump, therefore, it is “the frustration” that is in order, according to the geopolitical analyst Ulrich Bounat contacted by BFMTV.com. Kremlin himself attributed Donald Trump’s words to an emotional overload. “
“Trump begins from the beginning that the war is bad for business. He was convinced that by proposing a commercial association between the United States and Russia, he could stop the war,” explains the researcher associated with Think Euro Craiv. He does not understand how existential war “is Vladimir Putin’s war, he adds.
A statement without a future?
The Kremlin teacher, not very sensitive to the economic proposal, will not change his address as long as Washington does not present real pressure, according to experts. And despite his bitter statement, Donald Trump does not seem inclined to start a confrontation. When asked about the possibility of strengthening US sanctions on Sunday night, it was evasive simply responding “absolutely.”
“He is the king of statements in the cookie cutter, but I don’t think he changed the position in the war,” said Ulrich Bounat.
Despite the multiple rejections of a high fire and the resumption of a massive bombing, “nothing is happening behind,” he recalls. This Monday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky denounced Moscow’s “impunity” on Monday.
This is not the first time that Donald Trump has raised the tone to Moscow verbally. He already said he was “very annoying” against his Russian counterpart at the end of March and argued him to stop his bombings a month later. “Vladimir, hold,” SERVIDURING wrote about Social Social If he was not “walking”.
These words without consequences drowned more in much more conciliatory statements, the tone varies from one day to another. The US president already described Vladimir Putin as a “strong” and “very intelligent” man, welcoming his “very good discussions” on several occasions. “Putin wants peace,” he repeated several times, without depriving himself, however, criticizing Volodymyr Zelenksy. This Sunday, he said that “everything that came out of the mouth” of the Ukrainian leader “caused problems.”
“A scenario in which we would see the United States deciding to impose sanctions in Moscow” seems “very unlikely,” says Ulrich Bounat. “We cannot conclude from this last statement that measures will be made,” abounds the specialist. “For example, during his first mandate, Donald Trump had treated the North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un of ‘Little Man-Fusual’. This did not prevent him from shaking his hand the following week.”
Faced with his failure, the Republican billionaire seems to be rather distancing himself from his role as a negotiator, repeating more and more frequently that “it is not his war.”
“It’s Zelensky’s war, Putin and Biden, not Trump’s. It only helps to turn off the large and villains who were illuminated by incompetence and shameless hatred,” he said this Sunday.
“Putin knows how to play a long time, unlike his American counterpart, a follower of immediacy and the media,” summarizes General Jérôme Pellistrandi. “Two temporalities compete with an advantage for that of the Kremlin.”
