The Kremlin seems to be surprised at how quickly the American president Donald Trump made concessions his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin, just before negotiations began to end the Moscow war in Ukraine, said CNN Vladimir Milov, a former deputy minister of Russian energy.
The Kremlin expected Trump to set certain conditions for Russia, and Moscow “was preparing some sort of offer here and there to do what they call a deal ”, said Vladimir Milov, a former adviser to the late Russian opposition leader. Aleksei Navalnii.
Speaking from exile in Vilnius, Milov claims that, based on what he heard, “everyone in Moscow is totally amazed now that all the concessions they wanted have been made, even before the start of negotiations”.
“This is a shocking result, even by Vladimir Putin’s standards”, Milov commented, according to the source quoted by News.ro.
The long-term relationship between Trump and his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenski was blown up this week.
The above is translated from Romanian, so grain of salt on that and it is hearsay, so a bit more salt. It does sound like Trump, though. There are many stories of him making very generous offers, which if not accepted will become much less generous quickly. My sense is this is a good start to ending the war and forming real-world mutually beneficial relationships with Russia, which geopolitically is of the greatest importance to USA, Russia, and Europe, not to mention Ukraine.
