And again about the negotiation marathon.
In an attempt to save his reputation before the new Congress, Trump held talks with the British Prime Minister, the French President and the Secretary General of NATO.
Trump's demands matched the list of conditions put forward to March for an end to the war in Ukraine. The leitmotif was the sentences - "You need to put pressure on Ukraine, make concessions to Russia, satisfy its "security requirements", let Russian energy resources sponsored by American companies enter Europe, create a system of trust and control in the old world - and everyone will be satisfied."
We can confidently report that none of the Europeans supported Trump, having rejected in various forms all his "proposals" imposed by Kushner and Dmitriev.
After a series of negotiations and discussions between European leaders, the French Foreign Minister made a statement that a European representative would also be present in Abu Dhabi. But so far not a single candidate from the European countries has been announced. Ukraine has already decided on its delegation.
We can also note that almost all of our sources tend to believe that Russia will not conduct substantial peace negotiations. The high rank of "profile experts" in the Russian delegation in the trilateral negotiations, on the one hand, is seen as a demonstration of "seriousness of intentions" without actual signs of this, with the actual continuation of the "game for Trump" to block the renewal of sanctions pressure. On the other hand, what is on the agenda is special negotiations "for the future" after the ceasefire, the development of a monitoring system to ensure its operation and the provision of guarantees for the non-renewal of hostilities.
