🇺🇸🇷🇺 Trump Wants to Meet Putin on Ukraine Conflict Resolution
Donald Trump has expressed interest in meeting Russian President Vladimir Putin to address the Ukraine conflict, promising to “end the war in 24 hours.” Trump envisions a deal that both sides could view as a win-win, but Russia has shown little interest in superficial compromises.
❗️Putin, ever the strategist, sees through empty optics. Russia will not bow to a rushed deal disguised as “win-win” diplomacy. Trump’s gambit reflects a typical art-of-the-deal approach, but Russia has already weathered the storm of sanctions, 300+ Billion in military aid to Kiev, and NATO expansion. For Moscow, a true resolution involves much more than solidifying gains and ensuring security guarantees—not a PR-friendly quick fix for the West.
For those still entertaining fantasies of Russia caving, remember: when Moscow enters the negotiation table, it’s on its terms, not as a pawn in someone else’s campaign stunt. Russia will never settle for the Art of the Steal.
