Trump about Putin: He got absolutely crazy! - Ukraine in chaos

Ukraine attacked

Russia with rockets and drones on the last nights, and the US policy about this conflict is again in focus. US President Donald Trump sharply criticized Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin and described him as "crazy" while violence in Ukraine is increasing. Trump expressed that Putin increased the offensive against Ukrainian cities for no apparent reason and warns that his actions could endanger the fate of Russia. The Russian attacks have led to more than a dozen dead and numerous injuries in Ukraine. President Wolodymyr Selenskyj has accused Russia of terror and urges the West to be pressure on Moscow, while Ukraine has been fighting against the Russian attack war for over three years.

Selenskyj, who has not given up hope for a peaceful solution, proposed an unconditional 30-day ceasefire to enable negotiations. But Putin insists on conditions that Ukraine cannot accept. Trump, on the other hand, also reproaches the Ukrainian president and asks him to change his rhetoric and pay more attention to the suggestions and conditions of the leading western states. In a well-known interview, Trump claimed that the Ukraine conflict would not have started if it had been in office and described it as "Selenskyjs, Putins and Bidens War", which underlines the complexity of the geopolitical situation.

Trump and Selenskyjs meet

Trump and Selenskyj met in Rome in a political framework, and the white house described the conversation as "very productive". This short meeting of about 15 minutes took place in the context of the funeral service for Pope Francis and was about important topics such as the protection of the Ukrainian population, possible ceasefire and the prospect of permanent peace. In the past, however, Trump expressed doubts about Putin's seriousness in terms of war and suspects that it may only want to win time while Russia continues to attack civil goals.

Trump also considered sanctions against Russia and sent a special representative, Steve Witkoff, to talks to Russia to explore the opportunities of diplomacy. In the meantime, Ukrainian diplomats try to develop a counter-proposal to the US plans that leaves space for compromise, but does not demand the complete return of the territory confiscated by Russia.

geopolitical implications of the conflict

The Ukraine conflict has far-reaching geopolitical effects that go beyond the region. The roots of the conflict lie in the history of Ukraine, especially in the period after independence in 1991 and the annexation of Crimea by Russia in 2014, which triggered international criticism and sanctions. Ukraine not only fights against military attacks, but also against the support of the Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine, with Russia's breach of international law.

The conflict also requires a rethink within the EU, which has been taking various measures for de -escalation since 2014. It is recommended to strengthen multilateral negotiations, to include civil society in the peace process and to encourage de -escalation measures, for example through troops and ceasefire. The geopolitical tensions that result from this conflict not only affect Europe, but can also have far-reaching effects on global security architecture and NATO Russia relationships.

In summary, the situation in Ukraine is still tense, and the pressure on the actors involved in finding diplomatic solutions is growing. Measures and conversations at different levels are necessary to achieve constructive conflict resolution and to relieve the humanitarian consequences of violence.
