We don’t want to do those that “we had told you”. However, in fact, we had told you not to trust the defeatists of the first hour too much, of those who – after the historic summit in Alaska between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin – had immediately ran to scream at the “failure” of the meeting. We had invited you not to fall into the double error of showing excessive enthusiasm (at the bottom to date it is still shooting and Russian bombers point on Kiev) or to be too negative, because after three years of war, hypothesis of “regime change”, nuclear threats, deaths, destruction and raid, for the first time two world powers return to talk. It is right or wrong that it is unroll the red carpet under Putin’s feet, a (weak) spiraglio has finally opened for a possible peace agreement. Maybe unjust, made of territorial concessions and other flaws. But peace.
The point is that while the Lane He took it out with the “hasty and approximate organization of the Anchorage summit”, the “Bronx building” Witkoff succeeded where Massimo Gaggi and members would not even have arrived in the best night dreams. That is, to move a half mountain: Putin and Trump were spoken, also in private in the presidential car; UE, USA and Ukraine yesterday they kept a tight comparison on how to guarantee Kiev’s security; And within two weeks, if all goes well, the Tsar and Zelensky will meet in a bilateral (until the day before yesterday deemed impossible) and then try to close the agreement in the trilateral with The Donald.
Is it the best option for Ukraine? No. The best would have been not to suffer the Russian invasion, or regain military hand All the territories conquered by Moscow. Could it go even worse? Yes, at least for those who were convinced (denied this time too) that that overwhelming Trump would have signed Patti on behalf of Kiev without involving Zelensky. Would it be appropriate to get a “ceasefire”, as asked by Friedrich Merz at the table last night? Certainly, but unfortunately the agreements are made in two (or three) and not always what is right is also technically possible. “A complex framework that, beyond the desire to organize new meetings, does not allow positive solutions to predict in the coming weeks,” he wrote by making the mistakes wrong Lane. Yet the spiragli, as Meloni says, are there. We are at a “new phase after three years”: Russia has opened for the first time to the possibility of security guarantees for Kiev, guarantees that Trump also seems willing to provide through through the EU; The Tsar had 40 minutes of phone call with the USA immediately after the UE-STATED SUCTICE united, we imagine not to talk about the Elodie concert; And within two weeks we will know, after the bilateral, if you can really reach peace.
It is not said we get to a solution, let’s be clear. We, unlike the defeatists, do not make ourselves taken by easy enthusiasm. But yesterday’s meeting at the White House, with the European leaders in the queue to speak with the US president, confirmed that the summit in Alaska was not a failure at all. Maybe he disappointed those who expected the announcement due to the magic of a truce, yet it was a pragmatically useful first step to prepare the subsequent phases of a long and difficult dialogue. Yesterday the second step. As far as Macron insists on denying him, in fact, with Zelensky the Tycoon will have probed his willingness to give in territories while with Europe he will have fired the will to invest resources and men with his hand to guarantee Kiev’s security. Then, like all the negotiations, it will be necessary to find a meeting point with the Kremlin. Will he succeed? Impossible to say. But at least Trump is trying, right?
