What’s in danger at the Trump-Putin Ukrainian Peace Summit?

Very few believe that the Trump-Putin summit of Friday in Alaska will pave the way for a breakthrough. Russia And Ukrainian Stay separately – while Kyiv tries to dominate the smaller neighbor of the Kremlin.

At work Some Basic Problems In order to achieve a meaningful peace agreement, this will need to be addressed.

1st region

Russia occupies one -fifth of Ukraine after more than three years of war, but continues to demand land. At the beginning of this week, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that the rest of Donetsk Oblast, a 9,000 square kilometers of land in exchange for a ceasefire of Russia, said. Zelenskyy said that Ukraine could not agree for very little, especially in exchange for. It will not be possible that Ukraine will accept to surrender more land to the invader.

2. Safety Guarantees

Russia says he wants Ukraine to be neutral, but in practice it means a weak neighbor without ties with the West. In previous negotiations referred to by the Kremlin, Kyiv demanded the reduction of his army to 50,000 coins. It also requires that the country, which is interpreted as a call to replace Zelenskyy, to be “Denazi ..

Ukraine wants to join NATO, but it was rejected by the US and left the Western allies to look for bilateral or multilateral security guarantees. Britain and France promised Russia that despite being opposed to this, in the event of a stable ceasefire, the European “assurance force” will rule in Ukraine.

3. Sanctions and Trade

Russia wants to abolish economic sanctions imposed on Moscow. However, unless Trump has registered in a general peace agreement, Ukraine can speak for the United States that Britain and the EU will be more hostile.

4. War Crimes, Compensation and Restructuring

War crimes and claims of compensation cannot be put aside as part of a peace agreement. The International Criminal Court (ICC) has an order of arrest against Putin due to the forced transfer of approximately 20,000 children from Ukraine to Russia. Zelenskyy wanted young people to be returned in the first stage of peace debates, but the ICC demand will not disappear.

5. Other problems

There are many other practical concerns. Ukraine wants all war prisoners to be released alongside the first ceasefire. Russia keeps more than 8,000 Ukrainian Pow and Ukraine, and makes one -to -one swap difficult. However, since the beginning of the war has been dozens of changes, and this may be one of the simpler problems to understand.

The summit is set for us in Europe with a 20:00 BST, 21:00 cest at 11:00 akdt. Starting a diplomacy rush between two delegations In various formats: one -to -one and larger groups.

Like that SOME SE is expected to be finalizedvein After hoursAccording to the program, with plans For a common press conference with both leaders. At least this is the plan for now.

Local Residents are disintegrated between the excitement on a high-profile visit and the fears about the US-Russian leaders can accept.Even joking: “Please don’t sell us back.” (The United States bought Alaska from the Russian Empire in 1867).

And this A sense of solidarity with Ukraine on the streets of Anchorage was obvious. With various banners, the war fell to the country where the war has further investigated this theme.

But the talks will not be easy at all Both sides come with almost completely opposite targets and ambitions.

RussiaIt was encouraged by the visible progress made on the battlefield, He will want to convince the US that it is only a matter of time before achieving his military targets.And therefore, any previous settlement will need to meet the maximalist demands.

This Not the opinion of Ukraine and European partners, The post -war principle, which is respected for the sovereignty of Ukraine, argues that the borders should not be changed and that the non -Russian demands are very important for Europe’s wider security view.

In the case of the host, US President Donald Trump, He implied that the Alaska meeting was 75% of the chance of successand this The threat of economic sanction may have been more willing to end Putin.

However What happens when the doors are closed and the two leaders sit for interviews – Nobody knows.

It can be one of the days we learned in history books Or… Another day of a political theater with small practical results. Let’s see.
