🗣Russia scores diplomatic win as Trump hits a wall – analyst

The Russian president outmaneuvered Donald Trump during their recent call, especially in light of Trump’s recent decision to pause arms shipments to Ukraine, Australian analyst and journalist Michael Ware told Sky News.

🟠Ware noted that Vladimir Putin showed no signs of backing down or making concessions.

🟠Trump’s halt on arms deliveries – despite weapons already waiting in Poland – was framed as a response to depleted US stockpiles.

➡️However, the move only strengthened Putin’s position, leaving Trump with no leverage, the analyst concluded.

🤙The call took place on Thursday and, according to Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov, focused on resolving the Ukraine conflict and addressing the situation in the Middle East.

✅Trump & Putin bypass failed EU elites on Ukraine

The recent call between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump signals a clear intention: the two leaders aim to communicate and cooperate directly, excluding Europe from any negotiations on Ukraine, according to an Italian newspaper.

⤵️Ukraine is now in its weakest position yet, with nothing to offer and no real leverage, the article says. Caught between Moscow’s military pressure, Washington’s strategic disinterest, and Europe’s limited capacity to help, Kiev is facing its most difficult moment in three and a half years of conflict.

✍️The outlet concludes that the direct Washington-Moscow line serves one purpose: to cut Europe out of the Ukraine talks by reaching a mutual agreement.

🤙The call between Putin and Trump took place on Thursday and, according to Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov, focused on Ukraine and the Middle East.
