As expected, Putin is clinging to its war ambitions and illusionary strength despite Russia’s disastrous economic situation.

Trump's ultimate goal is not a "just and lasting peace", but the lifting of sanctions against Russia.

The Russians refused to allow representatives of Turkey & the US, including Rubio, to participate in the Istanbul talks.

And, it was the Turks who proposed the exchange of prisoners.

In the video, Trump avoids a question about Putin disrespecting him.

Putin's demands remain maximalist, as Russia seeks "to eliminate the causes of the crisis, create the conditions for lasting peace, and guarantee the country's security."

The problem is that Putin is the root cause of the crisis.

Just before Putin's call with Trump, Vance said Trump would ask him if he was serious about peace talks. This could be a sign of the beginnings of irritation. Putin is taking a risk by continuing this charade of negotiations.

Before his phone call with Putin, Trump asked Zelenskyy what he should discuss with him, β€” WSJ

Putin came out to the journalists after the phone conversation with Trump.

He said the conversation lasted more than two hours and called it "meaningful, frank and very useful."

More statements from the dictator:

β–ͺ️During the conversation, Trump expressed his position on the ceasefire.

β–ͺ️Trump noted that Russia is in favor of a peaceful resolution to the crisis in Ukraine

β–ͺ️A ceasefire with Ukraine is possible upon reaching relevant agreements.

β–ͺ️ The memorandum between Russia and Ukraine may include issues of ceasefire and principles of settlement.

β–ͺ️The resumption of contacts in Istanbul indicates that the parties are "on the right track."

β–ͺ️Termination is possible upon reaching appropriate agreements.

β–ͺ️RF and Ukraine must find compromises that suit both sides.

According to analysts, Putin's position did not change and Trump did not exert enough pressure.

Putin's words about a "peaceful solution" only repeat the Kremlin's previous rhetoric and can be interpreted as a rejection of the 30-day truce.

Trump and Putin affectionately addressed each other by name β€” Donald and Volodya β€” and could not decide who would hang up first, as if in a romantic comedy against the backdrop of a geopolitical drama, β€” Ushakov

Trump told Putin he could call him "at any time," according to an aide to the Russian dictator.

It's been 195 days, and Trump still hasn't gotten anything from Putin, much less an end to this war in 24 hours.

Our only hope is that Putin will finally bruise Trump's ego, his most sensitive organ, and finally impose the infamous 500β„… tariffs on Russia and all its supporters, as well as military aid to Ukraine.
