So Putin plans to answer Trump

Trump has fit the ball to Moscow.

Now sources in the Kremlin reveal how Putin plans to answer.

According to the information, he sees above all one thing that speaks to his advantage.

After almost two weeks of public turbulence, the turn came on Tuesday. During a meeting in Saudi Arabia, the United States and Ukraine agreed on a proposal for a 30 -day ceasefire.

Several American representatives openly said that the ball is now with Putin.

That message was greatly reinforced on Tuesday. Foreign Minister Marco Rubio said the United States wants to see a ceasefire “Within a few days”. Donald Trump added that US negotiators are on his way to Moscow and delivered an open threat to press Russia to say yes.

– I can do things financially. It would be very bad for Russia. I want to do it because I want peace.

Putin at the front

Officially, Russia has not said anything more than listening to the proposal and that it is possible with a new phone call between Putin and Trump. But the signals on Tuesday were still quite clear. Wearing military uniform, Vladimir visited Putin Front in Kursk where the Ukrainian forces are about to be expired.

– I expect that all assignments on the battlefield will be completed and that the territory of the course region is soon completely liberated. We will treat the Ukrainian troops that are trapped in Kursk as terrorists, he said.

Data: It’s Putin’s plan

For Bloomberg Sources in the Kremlin state that Putin will probably say yes to a ceasefire – but only if he gets through his own conditions first. His plan is stated to be to let the negotiations pull out on time so that his troops can maximize the successes at the front before a ceasefire. According to the reporters, he is also considering demanding a new American arms stop to Ukraine.

Independent Moscow Times also states that Putin sees the clock as its main advantage in the negotiations. According to the newspaper’s sources, Russia plans to delay a personal meeting between Putin and Trump until the earliest of April.

“The time is on the Kremlin’s side,” says an informant.

Tatiana Stanovaja, an analyst at Carnegie Russia Eurasia Center, plays down the hopes for a fast and sustainable ceasefire.

– Putin will not definitely answer yes or definitely no. Even in the fantastic situation where Putin takes some steps towards a ceasefire, it would still be temporary and with very hard counterclaims, she tells the Moscow Times.
