Trump annoys Kremlin: Ukraine War compared to arguments between children!

Kiew, Ukraine - Donald Trump recently commented during the visit of the German Chancellor Friedrich Merz in the Oval Office on Air War between Russia and Ukraine. In an unexpected comparison, Trump described the confrontation as a dispute between small children. "Sometimes you see two little children who argue like crazy. They don't want to be pulled apart. Sometimes it is better to let them fight for a while and then pull them apart," says Trump.

The reaction of the Kremlin was not long in coming. Dmitrij Peskow, the spokesman for President Vladimir Putin, criticized the comparison and explained that the conflict of Russia was "an existential question". He pointed out that this was about national security and the future of Russia. Peskow emphasized that the West had rejected all the proposals Moscow to resolve conflict, and explained: "Russia is fighting because the West rejected all Moscow proposals for conflict resolution". This tone indicates that the conversations about a peaceful solution are still tense.

The situation in Ukraine

While Trump and Peskow dealt with the strategic aspects of the war, human suffering in Ukraine remained unnecessary. Ukraine has been defending itself against the Russian invasion, which began in the context of the annexation of Crimea 2014 and the war in Donbass. According to reports, at least three people were killed in Russian air strikes on Kyiv last night. President Wolodymyr Selenskyj indicated that Russia has used over 400 drones and 45 rockets, which underlines the continued brutality of the conflict.

The Kremlin described these air strikes as "reaction" to Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian bases, which further fuel the spiral of violence. The brutality of the Russian warfare and the high demands of Moscow make the negotiation process difficult and indicate a longer course of the war. Experts warn that political repression in Russia is increasing and the pressure on political leadership through sanctions, military setbacks and high number of people grows.

The international context

The Ukraine War not only influences relationships between Russia and the West, but also has far-reaching effects on the European security regulations and energy policy. The situation has strengthened the national identity of Ukraine and leads to a clear western direction of the country. The conflict questions fundamental assumptions of German and European politics and acts as a catalyst for a realignment of international relations.

In this complex geopolitical framework, the role of Trump and his statements remains questionable. His comparison, ignoring the suffering in Ukraine, could be considered inappropriate, while the Kremlin continues to be a victim of western aggression. The political game and the reality of the war show a considerable mismatch between the diplomatic rhetorics and the humanitarian consequences that affect millions of people in Ukraine
