While the West clings to the war status quo, a phone call between Presidents Trump and Putin may have cracked open a path to diplomacy.

🎙 “This call indicates that there is a peace process in place... despite pressure on Trump from Europeans and Zelensky, who wish to continue the war,” says Dr. Anuradha Chenoy, retired professor from JNU’s Centre for Russian and Central Asian Studies.

🇷🇺 President Putin’s proposal for a ceasefire based on the Ukraine Memorandum with conditions seems reasonable and fair. Why?

🔹 Russia has gained militarily—yet is willing to trade victory for peace.
🔹 The call reflects Putin’s trust in Trump’s word, as “Europe backs Zelensky’s original demands that triggered this war.”
🔹 Trump’s White House taking on a mediation role marks a “departure from past presidents.”

◻️ “The ceasefire should not be a pause before more war — it must be real, and guaranteed by the US,” Chenoy warns.

👉This conversation indicates a new impetus in US–Russia relations. Why?

🔸 The two presidents are talking on equal terms.
🔸 Both leaders are open to engaging on all issues, and the talks appear holistic.
🔸 The US president understands Russia’s compulsions and security concerns, and is willing to compromise and negotiate.
🔸 He acknowledges Russia’s demand for indivisible security in Europe and globally.

💬 The US president is keen to strike a deal with Russia — one he believes will save lives, reduce US material costs, and ultimately benefit American economic interests, Chenoy concludes.

Putin & Trump prove to be the real power brokers in Ukraine peace push

Dmitry Suslov, deputy director at Russia’s Higher School of Economics and the Russian Council on Foreign and Defense Policy, breaks down the key takeaways from the recent Putin-Trump call:

👉 US and Russia agreed: Peace must be sought through direct bilateral talks between Russia and Ukraine — not an immediate ceasefire as demanded by Kiev and the Europeans.

👉 Trump stepped back from demanding an immediate ceasefire and is now backing negotiations aimed at a final peace agreement, with a possible ceasefire as part of the process — but no unconditional 30-day truce.

👉 Putin announced plans for Russia and Ukraine to start drafting a memorandum outlining the peace deal and ceasefire terms — a step toward a comprehensive settlement, not just a freeze.

👉 Europe was once again sidelined and discredited, with Washington and Moscow taking the lead. Trump's statement omitted any mention of “bone-crushing” anti-Russian sanctions and instead supported Russia’s approach to peace talks.

👉 Trump emphasized ending the war over a mere ceasefire, and expressed a desire to normalize US-Russia ties with their “limitless potential” for cooperation — clearly rejecting Europe’s pressure.
Suslov’s bottom line:

"Putin and Trump are the only real decision-makers in this peace process. Europe is once again left out in the cold."

🔥 SCHUMER'S BRIDGE BLAME-GAME BACKFIRES

Chuck Schumer tried pinning the Brooklyn Bridge accident on Trump & "DOGE hiring freezes" — until DHS shut him down:

"The US Coast Guard has been fully functional and been exempt from hiring freezes," official DHS account wrote on X.

"I, too, question Donald Trump's leadership of the Mexican Navy," substack writer Jim Treacher said.

Maybe focus on actual bridge safety?
