The article centers around the strained relations between the US and Russia, focusing on President Trump's growing frustration with Russia's lack of progress in peace negotiations concerning the war in Ukraine. High-ranking Trump administration officials believe a ceasefire is unlikely in the coming months. The interviewee, Ukrainian diplomat Roman Bezsmertny, provides critical analysis of the situation.
Bezsmertny argues that Trump's foreign policy is facing significant setbacks, citing failures in the Middle East, strained relations with Japan, the Philippines and China, and a deteriorating relationship with Europe. He contends that Trump's actions are leading him towards impeachment.
The article discusses an upcoming meeting in Kyiv with military representatives from countries willing to deploy troops in Ukraine. Bezsmertny expresses doubt about the success of this coalition, primarily due to a lack of US support.
Bezsmertny believes China is unlikely to play a constructive role in peace negotiations, arguing that China's actions are largely influenced by Russia's nuclear capabilities and historical context.
Bezsmertny paints a bleak picture, suggesting Trump's actions are exacerbating international tensions, and predicting a lack of progress in peace negotiations without significant changes in strategy and leadership.
