US President Donald Trump will insist on a ceasefire in russia's war against Ukraine, which he is going to negotiate with russian dictator vladimir putin in Alaska. This was reported by Reuters on Friday, August 15.
The US and russian presidents both want to emerge as winners in the talks, which will take place for the first time since Trump returned to the White House. At the same time, Trump will try to "press" putin to consolidate his status as a "global peacemaker" and authority on the world stage. This should also help the US President receive the Nobel Peace Prize.
"Trump, who presents the war as a "bloody massacre" that threatens to escalate the risk, insists on a ceasefire in the three-and-a-half-year-old war, which would strengthen his authority as a global peacemaker worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize," the material says.
The summit is also a big victory for putin, as he will be able to claim that thanks to him Moscow has regained its seat "at the table of international diplomacy." At the same time, the United States sees negotiations as a possible way to end the deadliest war in Europe since World War II, Reuters writes.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, on August 15, the White House released the schedule for the Trump-putin summit in Anchorage.
On August 14, Trump said that he hopes to arrange a meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and russian leader vladimir putin to end the war.
As we will recall, on August 13, Trump threatened russia with serious consequences if negotiations with putin fail.
