The phone call between Trump and Putin is said to be very positive, and it doesn't matter what Europe and Zelensky think or want. The war will soon end with a handshake and a nod between Trump and Putin.
The war in Ukraine cannot end without the participation of Ukraine and Europe, unless, of course, Russia withdraws its occupation troops from Ukrainian territory. All other conditions for ending the war will require the consent of Ukraine and the EU, regardless of what Trump and Putin agree on.
According to media reports, Trump was very disappointed with the telephone conversation with Putin. That is why he refused to hold a press conference, since there is nothing victorious to report. Trump hoped that Putin would agree to a full-fledged ceasefire for 30 days, which Ukraine and the United States proposed, but Putin only agreed to a ceasefire on energy infrastructure facilities, but in this case he demands that Ukraine stop mobilizing and rearming the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Moreover, this means stopping any military supplies and the transfer of intelligence.
In other words, Putin refused to stop hostilities for 30 days and, as always, at the same time puts forward demands that Ukraine cannot fulfill.
The US predicts further negotiations between representatives of the parties on March 23 in Jeddah, but so far there is no end to the war in Ukraine in sight. Today, Russia attacked Ukraine with 6 missiles and 145 drones, Ukraine, in turn, hit another oil refinery in the city of Kropotkin in the Krasnodar region of Russia.
