Putin made an unexpected emergency call directly from a meeting of the Russian Security Council to congratulate Donald Trump on taking office as US President. This looks like a joke, because in his rhetoric Putin constantly emphasizes that in Ukraine he is waging a war against the “collective West”, where the main role is played by the United States.

The following is the text in the original language.

Moreover, the meeting, for the sake of safety, was specially postponed until the date of Trump’s inauguration, wanting to force such meetings to take place on Friday. This gesture, as well as obvious subservience to the administration, which in Russian propaganda is called “the main enemy,” exclaims.

Aside from the first, we actually have many symptoms of all the problems that Putin faces through the war he unleashed.

Obviously, the goal of Putin’s war is to defeat the collective approach on the territory of Ukraine in order to establish a “new security architecture”. In order to talk about the establishment of zones, Putin can rule over part of the world, as he respects his own, and no one has the rights to interfere with that.. There is nothing Ukrainian in this concept, and Ukraine may be weakened as a power, and Ukrainians as a people.

It’s so obvious that no one has any intentions of bringing Europe under Moscow’s influx zone. That’s why he won’t talk too much about life zones - not now, not in the future.. And although the United States does not want to promote a clear plan for achieving peace in Ukraine, it does not seem that the flow of America from Ukraine and Europe could be part of its plan. Yesterday’s statements by Trump and the new Secretary of State Marco Rubio that Putin is an aggressor and in their interests to end this war as quickly as possible, reflect Putin’s current position in the world.

Putin is an outcast. Illustrative here is his special trip to Mongolia, which Russian snakes presented as a triumph of diplomacy. I want to tell you the truth about the fact that Putin was simply not arrested that time. In the minds of social isolation, the very fact of fighting with Trump is important.. This will also give the opportunity to show everyone that isolation does not exist, and also let the president of the most prolific region of the world be especially drawn to him. So Putin constantly declares that he is ready before negotiations. Moreover, negotiations are unlikely to bring peace to Ukraine.

The problem is that Putin has no motivation to end the war.

Putin doesn’t need peace. You need respect for yourself, and you don’t want to feel like an outcast. All I need from Trump is that the negotiations be carried out to the point of inconsistency, and Putin can take part in them. It is clear that we will be involved in decisions in the world as much as possible. It’s hard to believe that the end of the war is falling from the sky. A just world can no longer be fought, and if so, it will remain with us more than anyone else.
