An abrupt message. Donald Trump, who put double doubles in his last days to try to find a peace of war in the war in Ukraine, divided a message into the bellicose tone this Thursday, August 21 in his social network of fetish truth.
“It is very difficult, if not impossible, to win a war without attacking the invading country. It is like a great sports team that has a fantastic defense, but that is not allowed to play in the attack. There is no possibility of winning!”, Said the US president.
Before adding: “It is the same with Ukraine and Russia. Joe Biden, dishonest and approximately incompetent, did not leave Ukraine retaliation, only defended himself.”
“What do we conclude?”
Press Moscow or kyiv, mark your tiredness in the face of the obstinacy of Kremlin or consider a true Ukrainian attack in depth in Russia? It is difficult to know that it is the strategy of the Republican billionaire behind this message, tell that there is one.
“What are we concluding?” Question BFMTV Ulrich Bounat Geopolitical Analyst and Researcher associated with Think Theano Créiv.
“Will Donald Trump provide long -distance strike weapons and authorize Ukrainians to hit Russian territory? This is what things could effectively realize,” said the researcher. “If it remains in the threat stadium (…), the calculation that Vladimir Putin will not change between the cost of war against the consequences of the United States,” he continues.
This is not the first time that the US president issues the idea of a Ukrainian attack in Russia. According to him Financial TimesHe would have asked Volodymyr Zelensky during a phone call last July if he could “attack” the cities of Moscow and St. Petersburg. “Absolutely. We can if you give us weapons,” said the Ukrainian leader.
The perspective of a Putin-Zelensky summit is moving away
This message is even more enigmatic, since it occurs in the middle of the intensification of peace negotiations. Donald Trump, who has promised since his presidential campaign last year to bring peace to Ukraine, wants to bring Russian and Ukrainian presidents at the same table.
After meeting with Vladimir Putin on Friday in Alaska, then Volodymyr Zelensky, accompanied by several European leaders on Monday at the White House, the US president said they prepare a bilateral meeting between the heads of Russian and Ukrainian state, which would be followed by a triple with himself. But the participation of the two belligerents seems far from being acquired.
“Currently, the signals sent by Russia are simply indecent. They are trying to escape the need to organize a meeting,” said Volodymyr Zelensky.
Russia continues to intensify its attacks in Ukraine: 574 drones and 40 Russian missiles threw themselves on Wednesday night to Thursday. A record attack since mid -July.
The Ukrainian president also said that a meeting with his counterpart would only be possible after having determined the main lines of an agreement with Westerners on security guarantees for Ukraine.
But Moscow, meanwhile, categorically rejects most of the planned scenarios, such as the deployment of a European military contingent in Ukraine considered “unacceptable.” The Russian Foreign Minister also indicated on Wednesday that this meeting should not rush so that it does not lead to the “deterioration of the situation.” Sergei Lavrov judges that this meeting must be “prepared with great care.”
