Trump deserves recognition for his Ukraine mission-threatens to fail?

It was the best day that Ukraine has experienced in a long time. But it remains unclear how the war, unleashed by the brutal invasion of Russia, could end in the near future.

Encounter in the White House

The Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj Visited the White House on Monday, and in contrast to his previous visit there was no scandal in the Oval Office. President Donald Trump showed fascinating approaches how he could approach the presidency by saving Ukraine, securing Europe and thus earning Nobel Prize winner status.

The support of European leaders

A group of European heads of state who came to support Selenskyj was impressive and remarkable, despite their different ideological views. They changed in their public speeches and tried to give Trump a political and emotional justification for his support from Ukraine.

It was a historical day that reminded of great political gatherings that ended the Second World War and created the modern world. This is how the West should work: An American president leads powerful Europeans who pursue common goals.

Questions about the transatlantic alliance

But the question arises whether this agreement can be permanent. The tensions in the transatlantic alliance and Trump's sensitive temperament mean that avoiding disasters is regarded as a serious progress, especially according to Trump Concessions to the Russian President Vladimir Putin At her last summit in Alaska.

On the way to a possible peace

The conversations on Monday were the most convincing signs that the president is serious when he says he wanted to stop killing in Ukraine. Perhaps he deserves more recognition for his commitment and energy than to him.

But the day also revealed questions that could become clearer in the coming weeks and that the Trump's efforts and the unity of the West could endanger what Putin would be happy.

There was a lot of optimistic rhetoric about the need to grant Ukraine security guarantees according to a peace agreement. Trump even indicated that he would send support from the US armed forces. But so far nobody explained how this should work - and more important what Russia would accept as part of a deal.

The delicate topic of the regional exchange

A central catchphrase in Trump's germinating peace process is "area exchange" - to create a new dividing line between an extended Russia and a newly battered Ukraine. Trump even gave Selenskyj a card for which he was grateful, as if he were not already aware of the difficult decisions about the country that was soaked with Ukrainian blood.

Some official bodies report that the Russian guide wants to conquer the country through negotiations that his troops could not conquer, including the economically strong region Donbas in the east of Ukraine. This region is also a strongly defended line that Ukraine has built to keep Russia away and to avert future attacks.

The challenges of the negotiations

The term "area exchange" is a fleeting name that hides the real meanings. Ukraine would essentially negotiate to give different parts of its own area. Putin would valuable strategic areas Acquire and offer less critical regions that have already been conquered. It doesn't seem to be a fair deal.

The talks on Monday were surreal. "I think everyone is in a good mood, and I think that's better than not being in a good mood, I assume," the former national security consultant from Trump, John Bolton, told CNN. "I think the focus on the meetings underlines the lack of substance in everything."

Trump's change in Ukraine policy

When Trump returned to office, many supporters of Ukraine were afraid that he would leave her to her fate. The President still hesitates with the massive military aid packages that the country saved according to Putin's Brutal invasion in 2022. But Trump has now put considerable personal credo and political influence on his efforts to end this war, which he now classifies as much more complex than he originally thought.

Nevertheless, there were several disturbing moments that fueled concerns about Trump's true loyalty in the peace process. Once he was caught by an open microphone on how he said French President Emmanuel Macron that Putin "offers me a deal". This shows a dangerous naivety over a Russian leader who has started a murderous, not provoked war and is a myth to revive a myth of Russian size.

It remains to be seen how long Trump can juggle all of these balls, because thousands of life depend on this answer.
