Trump Emphasizes Need for Realism from Putin on Ukrainian Territories and Possibility of Meeting with Zelensky
According to reports from international media, former U.S.
President Donald Trump expressed a significant stance on Ukrainian territories during a phone conversation with Vladimir Putin.
The American leader advised the Russian president to adopt a more realistic approach to resolving the conflict in eastern Ukraine, emphasizing that issues concerning Ukrainian lands require a careful and well-founded strategy rather than idealistic visions.
Trump highlighted that he plans to hold a personal meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to discuss potential solutions to territorial disputes.
Sources indicate that this discussion is key, as Ukraine is prepared to talk about borders but insists that any agreements should be based on realistic and diplomatic principles, not illusions.
Currently, the date and format of this meeting remain undefined, but experts generally agree that it could take place before the end of summer.
The international media also emphasize the importance of diplomatic preparations, including possible security guarantees for the participants.
However, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov recently stated that any potential summit between Putin and Zelensky requires thorough preparation and cannot happen hastily or emotionally.
France has considered Geneva as a possible negotiation platform, where officials have already confirmed their readiness to grant Putin immunity should he decide to attend.
Hungary is also being considered as a potential venue, with plans to hold talks within two weeks.
This step could become an important milestone toward diplomatic resolution of the conflict, which has garnered significant attention from the global community and sparked numerous political discussions.
