The author wrote that Trump had apparently switched to Putin's side and had effectively become his accomplice. Therefore, at least during Trump's term, one could no longer rely on the USA. This makes one's own defense capability all the more important. https://t.co/X00HdIIMGt #Trump #Putin #Verteidigung #US #RU (translated)

The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Kuleba, emphasized that a tripartite meeting between Putin, Trump, and Xi could only encourage the continuation of the war in Ukraine, rather than its termination, and pointed out that there is no place for Putin at the same table with the leaders of the USA and China while Russia still violates peace. #Ukraina #Putins #mieru (translated)

Ilmārs Poikāns wrote that Russian media and diplomatic circles have reported on Vladimir Putin's offer to hold a trilateral meeting with Donald Trump and Xi Jinping next week or in the coming weeks to discuss Ukraine. According to Poikāns, neither Volodymyr Zelensky nor European leaders would be invited to the negotiating table. Poikāns described this initiative as an attempt to return to the logic of the 1945 great power agreements and to challenge Ukraine's right to determine its own future. He emphasized that such a precedent would be dangerous for Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia, as it could reinforce the belief that territorial borders can be changed through military force. Poikāns also warned that Russia could use the pause for the restoration of its army and military industrial base, but later make demands regarding buffer zones or the withdrawal of allied forces from the Baltic states. In his view, the proposal could be adapted to Trump's desire for a quick agreement, while Xi's involvement would attempt to make China a guarantor of Russia's gains. Poikāns pointed out that support for the division of Ukraine could significantly worsen China's relations with the European Union. He also suggested that the leak of this information before the U.S. midterm elections and Trump's expected visit to China could increase distrust among Kyiv, European capitals, and Washington. Poikāns stressed that talks about Ukraine without Ukraine would not be a peace process, but rather imposed capitulation. He urged Europe, especially the Baltic states, Poland, and the Nordic countries, to speed up the strengthening of military capabilities, as he believes that issues of European security should not be decided by great powers without European involvement. #Ukraina #Baltija #Starptautiskāsattiecības (translated)

Regina Laska criticized that Donald Trump once again accused Volodymyr Zelensky of not wanting to end the war. According to Laska, Trump overlooked that Vladimir Putin has been bombing Ukraine for four and a half years. Instead, Trump is concerned about Russian refineries, US diesel prices, and Putin's feelings, she wrote. Citing the Wall Street Journal, Laska reported that Putin proposed a meeting between Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping, possibly in November in Shenzhen. The meeting would be about the future of Ukraine, which, like Europe, would not be invited. The Kremlin has confirmed that the proposal is being discussed; Trump has not yet agreed. However, a senior US government representative believes he is open to it, according to Laska. A source from the Wall Street Journal described Putin's proposal as a "second Yalta." Laska compared the proposal to the 1945 conference, where Stalin, Roosevelt, and Churchill negotiated Europe's post-war order while the affected countries were not at the table. Putin's plan envisions a negotiation between the aggressor and the great powers regarding the fate of the victim – without European involvement. She urged Europe to discuss possible political and economic leverage. China is reliant on the European market, Ukraine is fighting with weapons that are largely financed by Europe, and the majority of frozen Russian central bank assets are held in Europe, she wrote. Laska argued that Europe must thwart the plan before it turns into a summit and warned that those who are not given a seat at such negotiations could end up being the subject of the agreements. #Trump #Putin #Ukraine (translated)
