Читать полностью…🇷🇺🇺🇦Russia merely "shrugs" in response to Trump's threats to impose sanctions and is ready to fight in Ukraine for at least another year, according to The Wall Street Journal.
The Kremlin believes it is successfully resisting sanctions and that Moscow can withstand at least another year of conflict as long as Russians continue to be recruited to the front lines.
At the same time, Moscow has the advantage on the front line, slowly advancing towards Ukraine’s important logistics centres.
"We have an imbalance and inflation, but the situation is not so acute as to demand an end to all military action... We are able to insist on our demands... and if Ukraine's defense continues to collapse as it is now, it would be wiser for the other side to agree to our conditions," said Vasily Kashin, an expert at the Higher School of Economics.
Trump's statements, therefore, "appear to be too little to force Russia to change its core demands, which include de facto recognition of the lands it has conquered as Russian, an end to NATO ties with Ukraine, and a significant reduction in the Ukrainian military."
According to the publication, the Kremlin is more likely to view the US President’s threats as “posturing before negotiations.”
"Putin sees these statements as part of a political game. He doesn't take them seriously... He is prepared for any scenario and has no illusions that a deal will be reached quickly," says Tatyana Stanovaya, a political scientist at the Carnegie Center.
For Putin, she said, the ideal option would be a sweeping geopolitical agreement similar to the one agreed upon at Yalta by the leaders of Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union at the end of World War II, which foreshadowed the post-war division of Eastern Europe into Soviet and Western spheres of influence.
"Of course, Putin wants to end the war, but only on Russian terms. The war in Ukraine is a way for him to get the West to sit down at the negotiating table for Yalta 2.0," Stanovaya says.
"Analysts say Putin is seeking a summit with Trump where the two leaders could hammer out a settlement acceptable to Moscow by pushing aside the Ukrainian leadership, which Putin rejects as illegitimate," the article says.
Experts believe that Trump's threat to impose new sanctions reflects his understanding that the deal could be delayed, and that such behavior could "push Russia away from the negotiating table."
"Russians always want to be spoken to directly; the Kremlin was already irritated by his communication style in his first term... This is not how to communicate with Russians," said Oleg Ignatov, an analyst at the International Crisis Group, a conflict resolution agency.

The entrance fee is $20 million, the project price is $300 million. The shelter will provide medical care based on artificial intelligence, the ability to retire and "do business", and, if necessary, close yourself in a special capsule for additional security. There will be luxury restaurants, an indoor pool, cold bath centers, IV therapy rooms, a bowling alley and a climbing wall.
The bunker is located near the White House, but project leaders insist that this is a coincidence and has nothing to do with current global tensions.

🇺🇸🇺🇦Any pause in hostilities must lead to immediate elections in Ukraine.
This opinion was expressed on the pages of Newsweek by former adviser to Trump and J.D. Vance, Steve Cortes.
He writes that Zelensky “used the war to postpone the elections,” and “most of the Western world forgave this postponement.”
But now, in 2025, with Trump taking office, “an end to the fighting in Ukraine seems inevitable.” “But any pause in the fighting, whether a temporary cease-fire or a more lasting cease-fire, must lead directly to long-overdue elections in Ukraine,” Cortes writes.
“At this point, Zelensky immediately becomes politically vulnerable,” as “his previously broad popularity has been undermined.” “A war-weary public increasingly trusts his leadership and is increasingly suspicious of Ukraine’s rampant corruption,” the column says.
The author writes of "widespread, credible allegations of corruption against Zelensky and his associates, including the highly controversial chief of staff Andriy Yermak."
“Trump can help open a new chapter in Ukraine’s history – a post-Zelensky era that will culminate in honest patriots, not dishonest kleptocrats,” Cortes adds, pointing out that former commander-in-chief Zaluzhny currently has the highest approval rating in Ukraine.
