Putin and Trump: Meeting to end the Ukraine decline planned!

The world looks forward to a possible meeting between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump! According to information from Moscow, the preparations for this encounter are already in an "advanced stage". Leonid Sluzky, the chairman of the Duma International Relations Committee, said that a meeting could take place in February or March.

While Trump plans to rethink military support for Ukraine, experts expect this course to possibly lose hardness to Russia.

According to him, Trump is not concerned with getting Putin, but rather about securing the sovereignty of Ukraine. It remains to be seen whether the impending talks will lead to a breakthrough in the Ukraine conflict or further tensions.
