Trump’s New Ultimatum to Putin: A Move That Plays Into Moscow’s Hands or an Attempt to Change the War’s Course?
Recent statements by former U.S.
President Donald Trump concerning Russia and Ukraine have sparked numerous questions among experts and policymakers.
Trump has repeatedly expressed intentions to actively intervene in the conflict situation, but his old tactics coupled with new deadlines he sets for Putin seem to strengthen Russia’s position, effectively playing into Moscow’s hands.
According to sources within analytical circles, his approaches appear less strategic and more like sound and fury—an illusion of action and control, designed to allow Russia more time to continue its criminal activities.
Trump is setting deadlines, shortening the window for sanctions, and demanding quick results; however, these timeframes seem artificial and unfeasible, benefitting Kremlin's capacity for recovery and resilience.
Experts warn that such delays are a feint that only encourages Russian aggression and exacerbates the destruction of Ukrainian cities and lives.
Meanwhile, political analysts in the U.S.
and globally warn of the potential consequences of such 'playing with deadlines'—including deepening the war, loss of trust, and possible escalation to irreversible consequences.
It’s crucial not only to counter this game but also to intensify efforts to support Ukraine and combat Russian aggression with concrete, effective measures instead of empty ultimatums.
Experts emphasize that only firm and consistent policies can put an end to this large-scale conflict, highlighting the pivotal role of the United States in influencing the situation in Europe and globally.
