What Trump should tell Putin in Alaska

August 10, 2025
Ukraine

We learned that during the upcoming meeting, Putin will try to convince Trump to help him subdue Ukraine and take about 20% of its territory. Trump should answer that, regardless of the validity of Russia’s claims, Putin did not use any peaceful means to reach his aims. So, Ukraine deserves the right to reject Russia’s claims in the same way Russia executes them. As of now, it looks like Russia is less able to reach its goal than it was when starting the war. Ergo, Putin can get peace today on terms that Ukraine might accept, or continue the war until Ukraine is capable of reaching its objective in the same manner as Russia does.
