Peace in Ukraine remains unreachable after Trump's conversation with Putin

CNN - apart from Donald Trump's supposed “personality”, which is supposed to force Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the war in Ukraine, it turns out that a clear breakthrough is still far away. The highly awaited telephone call between Trump and Putin on Monday did not bring any significant results and instead caused new questions regarding Trump's actual ambitions and increased transatlantic tensions about war ending.

Ukraine and the urgent desire for peace

The Ukraine and its European partners urge on a 30--day armory, in order to talk about a conversations to create permanent peace agreements. However, Moscow refused because it demands immediate conversations about a final agreement. This procedure could take months and is seen as a skillful move to enable Russia to continue the continuation of its offensive.

Trump's vague support for the Kremlin

After the call, Trump announced that Ukraine and Russia "talk to each other as only they can" while the fights are going. He stood on the side of his friend in Kremlin. In addition, Trump ensured that the already weakening peace efforts still seemed not very convincing. He did not respond to Vice President Jd Vance's former statement that the United States could possibly withdraw if there is no progress. "I tell them they are great egos in the game, but I think something will happen. And if not, I withdraw and they have to continue," said Trump towards journalists in the Oval Office after calling.

restricted role of the United States in the search for peace

Trump gave the impression that the United States would play a less direct role during the talks between Russia and Ukraine. He made it vague that the vatican and the new American pope leo could possibly be involved. However, most observers are convinced that no peace can be achieved without the maximum influence of the United States.

Criticism of Trump's approaches from Zelensky

The Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj said after the conversations on X that he spoke Trump twice on Monday - once before calling with Putin and once after a briefing with European leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron and Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. Selenskyj Trump's attitude contradicted a detailed explanation. He called for stronger sanctions against Russia if this was not willing to end violence against Ukrainians. He pleaded for direct negotiations with Russia in the Vatican, Turkey or Switzerland, which would have to include European and American representatives.

Trump's lack of commitment to peace

Although Trump often emphasizes that he wants to make an end for peace in a further term, his commitment has so far been rather careless. The fights in Ukraine and Gaza have increased since taking office. While last week by ensuring the release of the Last American hostage in Gaza Complainted, it shows that he does not want to contribute to the warlike arguments, which stands in the way of a serious diplomatic solution.

critical feedback on the attitude of Putin

Trump expressed the belief that Putin wanted to end the war, but it is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain this optimism. While the conflict has a catastrophic effect on the Russian economy and numerous young Russians costs life, Putin demands that the "causes of root" of the war have to be tackled. This includes unsustainable demands that Ukraine must be "nationalized", which means that the sovereignty of the country and the right to determine its own future should be restricted.

conclusion: a persistent standstill

Trump's approach in this complex geopolitical environment shows that he may not take the necessary measures to advance the peace efforts. While time is urging, the USA and its partners have to consider how to adapt their strategies to ensure real and permanent peace before the international community's commitment continues to go.
