Important events before the meeting between Trump and Putin
Despite his promise to end the war between Ukraine and Russia on the first day of his second term, President Donald Trump was not negotiating a peace treaty. He hopes that a eagerly awaited meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin will be successful.
Meeting in Alaska
Trump meets Putin in Alaska on Friday, which is the first personal meeting of the two leaders in Trump's second term. The US President had already held talks with the Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj, including an extremely tense public confrontation in February. Both heads of the state on the phone and sent disputes to negotiate an agreement on an agreement on an armistice. Nevertheless, Trump and other foreign state leaders have found that it doesn't seem as if Putin is interested in peace because the war has lasted over three years.
Challenges in diplomacy
Although Trump often speaks of his "very good relationship" to Putin, it becomes clear that it needs more than one phone call, threats of new sanctions or the name of the Russian president as "absolutely crazy" to move him to change his course in Ukraine.
