Bloomberg: Trump has made Putin bold; Moscow does not give America points

Vladimir Putin believes that Donald Trump's hand -held call will respond to his American counterpart, while European leaders have repeatedly asked Trump to agree with Moscow in the last three days.

Trump and Putin are set to talk to each other today. The call will take place after Putin's absence from last week's talks between Russia and Ukraine in Istanbul. Ukrainian President Walodimir Zelksky traveled to Ankara on the day of the talks with his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan, but did not attend the talks. Trump, who was on a Middle East trip, said he would go to Istanbul if Putin goes to Istanbul, but the Russian president recognized to send the Kremlin to negotiations.

The negotiations, which took place for the first time since spring, took less than two hours and did not lead to significant progress in the possible ceasefire.

According to a source close to the Putin think tank, Russian President is confident that its forces are able to break the Ukrainian defense lines by the end of this year and completely control the four areas that Russia occupied.

This means that Putin will probably not provide any meaningful privileges in a phone call to Trump. However, European officials are worried that Trump will impose an agreement on Ukraine without regard to this.

According to a senior European official, German President Emmanuel Macron, French President Emmanuel Macron, and British Prime Minister Care Starmer, during a phone call on Friday, tried to clarify that Putin was seduced! They hope that Trump will understand that if a bad deal on Ukraine is imposed, he will look like a loser.

Zelksky and his European allies believe that Trump has been committed to the new boycott against the Kremlin if Putin refused to observe the ceasefire last week, but that has not happened.

According to Sergei Markov, a political adviser with a close relationship with the Kremlin, “Trump has asked Putin to agree to the ceasefire, but he does not want that. However, Putin is reluctant to collapse the negotiations. “He is trying to maneuver so that these negotiations go along with military advance.”

Butta Ilias, a senior analyst at the London Strategic Information Institute, claims: Putin's ability to submit maximum requests from Ukraine without a negative reaction from the Trump administration's immunity has made him (Putin) bold!

He added: Putin does not trust Trump, but provokes him to coincide with Russia's approach to the ceasefire.

Russia launched the biggest drone attack against Ukraine since the beginning of the war with Zeansky in the Vatican to attend the Catholic analysis of the Catholic world.

Trump had a phone call yesterday with Merts, Macron and Starmer, as well as Italian Prime Minister Georgia Melony, and according to a spokesman for the British Prime Minister, they emphasized the need to establish a valid ceasefire and serious peace talks from Putin.

Putin's assurance of success in the battlefield contradicts Western evaluation. According to European officials, Russia, which has endured numerous casualties in the war with Ukraine for more than three years, lacks enough ability to achieve Putin's goals!

Ben Barry, an analyst at the International Institute for Strategic Studies, claims: Russia's possibility of achieving its goals to fully dominate the four areas in Ukraine by the end of the year is very small. If Ukraine's defense collapses, it will be very easy to achieve such a superiority, but at the moment, such a scenario seems very unlikely.

According to a source close to the Russian Defense Ministry, many of the Moscow military forces who are fighting in Ukraine have so doubt. According to him, Ukraine's drone forces have specifically made Russian work very costly and ineffective!
