Russians continue to mock

American President Trump promised to end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours. Three months have passed, the Americans do not convince the Russians, although they have to press Moscow strongly as much as possible.

This week, Americans sit at one table with Europe and Ukraine to report that they are considering leaving the Ukrainian matter altogether.

« If, for what reason, one of the parties is very difficult to negotiate, we will say that fools, terrible people will just get away, » the US president said.

It is increasingly evident that the most beneficial situation seems to the Russians and how many contradictions between Europe and America.

The Russians demand to stay the occupied lands, and Ukraine wants to regain them. The European Peace Mission in Ukraine would only be if the ceasefire came into force. There are no ceasefire because the Russians do not want to stop war.

« Now, unfortunately, there have been a lot of statements, regardless of real opportunities. It is difficult to move out of place – this is one of the biggest problems in Europe’s partners. And this is a kind of invitation of a storm to his home, » explained Alvydas Medalinskas, a lecturer at Mykolas Romeris University.

It is watched why European leaders sometimes behave as if they were still not hearing what Mr Trump’s team says straight and openly.

« Maybe this will pass, maybe Trump will talk to Vladimir Putin, there will be peace talks without realizing that we have to talk about threats to European security and defense architecture, » Medalinskas emphasized.

Two months ago, the new Pentagon commander in Brussels spoke specifically emphasizing the words « no ».

LNK stop shot

Said Ukraine will not be a NATO member, Americans will not send troops to Ukraine, and will not provide Ukraine other security guarantees. Ukraine will not recover Russia’s occupied lands.

The Russians said at the very beginning of the invasion that they would suffer sanctions until the West themselves tired of the war and coming to listen to Russian conditions.

« Trump wanted to take a picture with Putin and announced a ceasefire. Trump’s wishes faced the difficult reality that the Kremlin is still reaching the maximum goals of conquering Ukraine and getting rid of Wolodymyr Zelensky, » said Scott Lucas, a professor at Dublin University.

Mr Trump’s messenger in negotiations with the Russians proposed the Russian plan to give the Russians illegally occupied by Ukrainian lands to the Russians.

This is a kind of storm call to your home.

« For us, these are red lines. These messengers discuss questions that do not belong to their competence, » the Ukrainian president emphasized.

According to A. Medalinskas, the situation seems twice as poor. Europe without the Americans is unable to protect either Ukraine or itself. And Americans are too hurried to leave Europe to deal with the Russians.

« The European Security and Defense identity is a child. He should grow in US support, intensify, be supported, be directed in a sense. Then Europe could do it, » said a lecturer at Mykolas Romeris University.

True, Americans do not promise to send troops to Ukraine, but do not say they will not contribute otherwise. For example, it could continue to provide Ukraine with its hard -to -replace intelligence information about Russians.

There are more contradictions. Europe has abandoned much of Russian gas, oil.

Bild and Financial Times announced that Americans had discussed with the Russians the opportunity to revive the damaged Nord Stream2 pipeline. Russian gas would flow to Europe again and Americans would be operated by the pipeline.

European leaders no longer know what to expect and to prepare for the American president.

« We know that times are difficult. We will do everything we can, but what I understand best, what values ​​I represent, » said Italian prime minister Giorgia Meloni.

It is still awaiting what Mr Trump’s administration will decide on American troops in European countries.

« We understand that partially, those issues will be resolved when the defense secretary Pete Hegseth himself will review the entire global deployment strategy for US troops. But there is no signal to leave Lithuania yet, » said Giedrimas Jeglinskas, Chairman of the National Security and Defense Committee.

A member of Congress in Vilnius, who supports Trump’s line, says American troops in Europe will be in places where Russia would be best discouraged.

« We are in the first struggle for freedom lines against the aggressive enemy that believes he can ruin NATO. He will fail. It will be in our American forces in places that our military commanders will appreciate as the best, » said Keith Self, a member of the U.S. Congress (Republican).

But there is anxiety in Europe that politicians can also influence the decisions of military commanders.
