US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin held a meeting in Alaska. Both of them talked for about 3 hours. No consensus could be reached on ceasefire in the meeting. 5 major reasons are being given for this
1. Putin’s tough stand on Ukraine
When Putin ordered to send 2 lakh soldiers to Ukraine in February 2022, his aim was to overthrow the government there in a few days. Putin wanted to bring Ukraine back into Russia’s sphere of influence, but failed. However, in these 3 years, Russia took control of 22% of Ukraine. Russian leaders have long been questioning Ukraine’s right to exist and have been claiming that Russia laid the foundation of modern Ukraine after the communist revolution in 1917.
2. Love for the people of Ukraine but anger with Zelensky
Putin had said in 2021 that Russians and Ukrainians were the same people. Also, Ukraine was described as an artificial state. Putin also recognized the rebel states as independent. As soon as the war started, Putin said that the people of Ukraine need protection from the regime. Putin called on the Ukrainian army to take power in their hands and target the drug gangs running the government. Putin wants to overthrow Zelensky’s government.
3. Putin stuck to his terms on Ukraine
Putin wants the war with Ukraine to stop on his terms. Russia wants control over Ukraine’s foreign and defense policy so that there is no threat in the future. Russia is not ready to give up even an inch of land. Russia demands that Ukraine stay away from NATO. Also, all sanctions imposed by Western countries should be lifted and the seized Russian assets should be returned.
4. More US-Russia relations were discussed than Ukraine
Putin held a press conference after the meeting with Trump. He began his talk by admitting that US-Russia relations have deteriorated in recent years. Trump and Putin have said that they want to normalize relations between the US and Russia and they want to meet again. Putin suggested holding the next meeting in Moscow. Russia’s top economic envoy Kirill Dmitriev said, we will continue to strengthen US-Russia relations, even if there is a lot of opposition to this, but we will continue to strengthen US-Russia relations.
