Putin Humiliates Trump in Disastrous Phone Call
Following a phone call between former U.S. President Trump and Russian President Putin, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius deemed the discussions a failure, citing the continued Russian attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure. While the call resulted in agreements on a temporary pause in energy infrastructure strikes and potential Black Sea negotiations, Putin’s demand to end foreign military aid to Ukraine remains a significant obstacle. This condition, fiercely opposed by Ukraine, highlights the ongoing challenges in achieving a lasting peace. Despite Trump’s claims of a productive call, the lack of European involvement in the talks is also considered a significant misstep.
