Kremlin: Another Putin-Trump Meeting Likely in Near Future
According to the English section of webangah News Agency, citing Mehr News Agency and Reuters, Dmitry Peskov, the Kremlin spokesperson, expressed that a renewed and imminent meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump is absolutely possible. He described Trump’s approach to the war in Ukraine as significantly more constructive than that of European countries.
Peskov contrasted Trump’s stance with that of European nations regarding the Ukraine conflict, stating that Europeans are doing everything within their power to prevent a peaceful resolution.
He added: “On the other hand,Trump’s approach is more constructive. He says, ‘If you can trade, why wage war?’ Based on this U.S.-interest-driven perspective, he will do whatever it takes to halt wars.”
The russian diplomat emphasized that Russia prefers resolving the Ukraine war through diplomacy rather than military means.He continued: “If Trump can assist us politically and diplomatically in providing this mechanism, our interests align. Therefore, this should be welcomed.”
Trump’s recent statements have fluctuated-ranging from confidence in Putin’s willingness to end the war to harsh criticism over Russia’s bombardment of Ukrainian cities.
Moscow has consistently appreciated Trump’s efforts toward peace between Moscow and Kyiv while accusing European governments of attempting to obstruct peace efforts.
Trump and Putin met three weeks ago in Alaska. Peskov said: ”There is no doubt that if necessary,an immediate new meeting between both sides can be arranged. Working contacts between them are ongoing.”
The U.S. president-who reopened criticism against Putin last week by saying he is “disappointed” with him-announced yesterday his intention to speak with Putin soon.
