The offer of unity in Europe in the White House is plus to Ukraine, but peace is still a distant dream Andre Korkov star-news.press/wp

IT at night was in Ukraine when President Trump met President Putin in Alaska – a night during which Russia did not peel the Ukrainian cities in the confrontation line only. People in Kiev, Levv, Odessa, Dnibro, and even Karkiv can sleep, but they did not. They were waiting for the news from Alaska. I was also awake and monitored the news feeding, and realized that this meeting will not lead to anything, or what is worse, something bad for Ukraine. But in the difficult situations that seem hopeless, the human nature is vulnerable to desperate optimism. In the Middle Ages, people often hoped to have a miracle, and forget the logic of events. Therefore, it was the night of August 15th of Amal in a miracle, which, of course, did not happen.
Unlike Alaska’s meeting, in Ukraine, there was no special tension in the accumulation of European leaders at the White House on Monday, despite the pictures of a very strong team that arrives in Washington. It seems that the Ukrainians feel that this meeting should be a visual positive in order to push the shadow at the Alaska meeting, which has not ended, if not the actual failure.
The meeting, on an equal footing, showed that Europe’s support for Ukraine and Europe continued to be an unpredictable position for President Trump, which is the goal is just a quick end of war, rather than achieving just peace.
A fair peace, which is the liberation of the lands that Russia has seized and the restoration of Ukraine within its constitutional geographical borders has increasingly a dream that the Ukrainians have the right to pride. Our partners calm down on this clear pre -condition of Salam Adel, although they are not publicly talking about the opposite – about the “need” to loss “that is inevitable” for a large part of the Ukrainian lands.
While the meeting in Alaska was received with hundreds of satirical comments on social media, the Ukrainians gathered the White House more seriously. They do not exaggerate the results, but they are quietly satisfied with seeing President Trump appears to be cheerful in such a pro -Bouranian company.
A bilateral meeting between President Zelinski and Putin is seen as unlikely that the Ukrainians are certain that Putin will do everything possible to avoid one. Putin has repeatedly wondered in the legitimacy of Zelinski as a president and meets the Ukrainian leader who will fly against this situation. However, if we try to imagine how the bilateral meeting can go, then you must deal with an easy problem logically first – a simple question about the agreement that can be achieved, which paves the way for more difficult topics.
But today, between Ukraine and Russia there are no easy problems. A long time ago, the exchange of prisoners of war and the return of Ukrainian children and civilians from Russia to Ukraine with a degree of success by a separate team of employees. All other points of discussion are very difficult; For example, a mutual ceasefire or a mutual stop to bomb with missiles and drones, or the state of lands and regions that Russia is still planning to seize it.
Therefore, the TETE-A-TETE meeting is likely to be more than brief monologne, but it is definitely not a dialogue. A meeting of three people with President Trump can be a more productive supervisor, but Trump will definitely agree only if he is confident that at least something will be achieved. Otherwise, again, as after the Alaska meeting, you will review his reputation.
For most Ukrainians, the fact that a joint visit to Washington by President Zelinski and the leaders of the European Union and Britain is more important than the post -investigation declaration on agreement to buy US weapons by Europe to Ukraine, which has long been understood as a deal that was made.
The most interesting aspects of the meeting-the phone conversation content between Trump and Putin after Tete-ATE with Zelenskyy-is still unknown, but press reports indicate Hungary as a possible meeting place. Putin’s visit to Alaska was presented by the Russian media as a victory – the Russian powerful man for global isolation. A meeting on the soil of the European Union will be presented as Russia’s final victory in its battle to make the civilized world aware of its right to violate any international law without bearing less responsible for violating the rights of other countries for a peaceful life within its geographical borders.
When the White House conversations ended, Russian drones and missiles attacked the energy infrastructure facilities in the Boltava area. Dozens of thunder explosions across the cities of Kremenchuk and Lubny. The population is unlikely to be interested in the results of the White House meeting the next morning.
