Trump describes Sumy rocket attack as a mistake, Putin's plan continues

President Donald Trump characterized the "Herrible" double attack with rockets on the central sumy in Ukraine as a "mistake" that Russia made. According to the attack, cluster bombs were deployed to maximize the number of victims.

The use of Iskander missiles

The reports indicate that precise Iskander missiles were used in the attack. The use of two rockets could indicate that the goal deliberately aimed to meet first aiders who hurried to help. It is unlikely that the Kremlin has reconsidered its strategy, since such tactics are now widespread. Maybe someone is trying to defend Russia in the context of negotiations with Trump.

a cruel sign for Ukraine

The attack was a cruel memorial for Moscow's true intentions for the allies of Ukraine: to force Ukraine to their knees. The goal, Sumy, is also the focus of Moscow, since President Vladimir Putin claims to want to create a security zone within Ukraine by targeting this lively border town.

The expulsiveness of diplomacy

The attack has also emphasized the low effect of the tireless diplomatic efforts of the White House. Trump said on Friday on social media that Russia had to "get in motion", but did not name any deadlines or clear consequences if the requirements are not met. However, secondary tariffs on the buyers of Russian oil were considered.

Trump's unclear position

Trump previously made similar comments - he criticized Moscow for his attack on the civilian population in Ukraine, while at the same time mourning the horror of the war without showing specific anger about the specific massacres. When he was asked about the urgent requests of Kiev after further patriot rocket systems, Trump mistakenly expressed that Ukraine had started the war.

The diplomatic standstill

Reality that Trump may be about is that Russian diplomacy has been torn out into a confusing spiral. Although it creates light and noise, it has little effect while Moscow buys time and continues the war under its own conditions. American and Russian diplomats move in a Design of Moscow that offers little view of real progress.

The search for peace

The United States and Ukraine are currently working on a viable path to get out of a complex contract for rare earths created by corporate lawyers from Delaware and, according to the last version viewed by CNN, almost exclusively in the interest of the White House.

concern about possible escalations

The concern is growing that Russia builds reinforcements and is waiting for the soil to dry in May to escalate a spring offensive, which have already partially described Ukrainian officials as started. Kiev pointed out an upcoming shortage of ammunition, and the recent commitments of his allies could not avert this acute crisis. Summer could be extremely challenging for Ukraine.

The geopolitical consequences for Europe

The European allies are preparing for two unpleasant future scenarios. The first scenario is the possible collapse of Ukraine, which could force NATO members in Europe to hold back Russia without American support. The second, more realistic scenario is that Great Britain and France lead preparations for a “calming troop” in order to protect a possible ceasefire. These preparations enable Kyiv to have diplomatic conversations and at the same time have security guarantees.

The complexity of the negotiations

With every new round of diplomatic conversations, the conditions for actual peace are increasingly confused. Putin seems to be less ready to offer even a partial break, since he ultimately believes that Trump is powerless and is not effectively punished for a rejection of the détent.

Trump expressed discussions with Russia and Ukraine at the weekend: "We will see what happens, but I think it's going well." Ukraine must hope that he does not simply think that the country's fate is permanently overshadowed by another crisis.
