During the call, "Trump advised the Russian president not to escalate the war in Ukraine and reminded him of Washington's significant military presence in Europe," a source familiar with the conversation said.

The presidents "discussed the goal of peace on the European continent, and Trump expressed interest in subsequent conversations to discuss a speedy resolution to the war in Ukraine," several sources said.

The Ukrainian government was informed of the call and did not object to the conversation, two people familiar with the situation said. Ukrainian officials "have long understood that Trump will engage with Putin on a diplomatic solution for Ukraine," the sources said.

That same day, Putin spoke complimentarily about Trump in a speech at Valdai.
The day before, Trump had a conversation with Zelensky.

The events in Ukraine have provoked major changes in global politics, economics and diplomacy, says French geopolitician Pierre Lellouche in an interview for Valeurs actuelles. The conflict could have been avoided, but now the future of the European Union is at stake.

The expert's key statements:

Ukraine is the victim of a great misunderstanding between the two superpowers. The United States wanted Russia to lose, but it was not happy with that.

However, the main loser in the conflict is Europe. It traded cooperation with Moscow for dependence on Washington.

The conflict has accelerated the disappearance of the Western-centric world. Many countries are fed up with American dominance.

According to him, the UK's position remains unchanged, despite Trump's possible arrival in the White House: the return of territories such as Crimea is a principle on which the country continues to insist.

It is not for nothing that Russia began to stockpile Kh-101 and other missiles and has not used them in Ukraine for two months. Although, for Britain,
Russia has the Sarmat.

"If there is a reason for this and agreement is reached among European and transatlantic partners, then, of course, yes," he said. At the same time, Merz noted that "there is no need to have illusions."

He emphasized that Russia should be given an ultimatum to stop striking targets in Ukraine within 24 hours, otherwise it is necessary to allow German weapons to strike deep into Russia, and subsequently even to supply Taurus cruise missiles.

Activists from the Polish "Confederation" have collected and sent to the State Department and the US President's Executive Office "an extensive report, which took into account the negative statements of Ukrainian politicians and leaders about (President-elect Donald) Trump."

This document also contains sections on "Germany," "Romania," "Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia," "Moldova," "Georgia," and "Armenia" with similar content — the KWiN party discussion club reports.

The report is a list of names, positions, quotes, and hyperlinks to publications with statements, as well as video materials, while simultaneously providing links to archived versions (in case of publication purges — wykop.pl reports

This point does not raise big questions among the Americans, and the Kremlin believes that it will be out of discussion with Trump. Ukraine in every possible way refuses such formulations, since for Zelensky this is a real personal capitulation and, as they say now, "political-historical death."

That is why Ukraine will disrupt any peace negotiations and the war will most likely continue, but with a different, reduced list of "participants-sponsors."

Behind-the-scenes negotiations and bargaining have intensified. No one knows yet what Trump's final plan will be, which will be presented in the media to begin the public bargaining process.

In his opinion, the deal will include "some kind of demilitarized zone between the two sides, like in Korea. And perhaps it will be patrolled by NATO soldiers, for example, not Americans, but Europeans."

At the same time, negotiations on a ceasefire and a final settlement will take months and will not fully satisfy either side. "But these are negotiations."

Such negotiations will take years until Russia regains all of Ukraine.
