Читать полностью…🇺🇸🇷🇺Trump and Putin's talks on Ukraine could be combined with talks on nuclear arms control, the New York Times writes.
Analyzing the latest statements by the two presidents, the publication comes to the conclusion that they intend to include nuclear arms control in the agenda of the talks. And this conversation has a deadline: the main treaty limiting the arsenals of both countries expires in almost exactly one year. If it is not extended, both countries could start an unprecedented arms race.
Trump said last week: “We want to see if we can achieve denuclearization, and I think it is entirely possible.” Putin also said he and Trump could “jointly seek solutions to key problems of our time, including strategic stability and the economy.”
The last preliminary arms control talks were concluded shortly before Russia’s full-scale invasion. Since then, Putin has argued that any talks on nuclear arms control must also cover the war in Ukraine. The Biden administration has been reluctant to mix the two, fearing that Putin’s real goal was to trade limits on his nuclear arsenal for territory seized in Ukraine and other concessions.
"But Trump appears open to broader negotiations, which is exactly what Putin would like because it might allow him to make that compromise," the NYT writes.
The Putin-Trump meeting, where the nuclear issue and Ukraine will be discussed, may take place without the participation of Kyiv representatives, the newspaper believes. Former State Department official Stephen Sestanovich believes that concluding a deal only with the US is also one of Putin's desired goals.
🇺🇦The head of the Main Intelligence Directorate Budanov told deputies about the threat to the existence of Ukraine if peace talks do not begin before the summer, Ukrainska Pravda reports, citing sources.
According to their information, a closed meeting was recently held in the Rada, where the leaders of parliament and factions were informed by the defense forces command about the real state of military affairs.
"At first, the General Staff representatives told a lot, in a confusing but very interesting way. Then there were other different reports. But the answer that I remember most was Budanov's. Someone asked him how much time we had. And Kirill, with his cold smile, said: "If there are no serious negotiations before the summer, then very dangerous processes for the very existence of Ukraine may be launched," one of the meeting participants told the publication.
"Everyone looked at each other and fell silent. Probably, everything needs to work out," the deputy summed up, "a little confusedly."

🇺🇸The new US Defense Secretary, Hegseth, who took office yesterday, first of all began to banish the policy of inclusivity from the Pentagon.
He published a memo saying the U.S. Department of Defense no longer adheres to the DEI principle, which imposed privileges on "vulnerable" racial or gender groups in appointments.
"The Department of Defense is not DEI. No exceptions, name changes, or deferments. Those who do not do this are no longer employed here," Hegseth wrote.
Trump previously ordered the abolition of this principle throughout the entire federal government system in the United States.
