    putin is trying to create the appearance of improving relations with trump, but in reality russia will not make concessions - ISW

    ISW reports that putin is creating the appearance of improving relations with Trump, but has no plans to make concessions. the kremlin continues to pursue its maximalist goals in Ukraine and on the international stage.

    russian dictator vladimir putin may be trying to give the appearance that he is building a relationship with Donald Trump, but in reality putin is signaling to his domestic audience that the Kremlin is unwilling to give in to any aspect of its maximalist goals in Ukraine or on the wider world stage. This is stated in a report by the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), according to UNN.

    "russian president vladimir putin seems to assume that U.S. President-elect Donald Trump will submit to the kremlin's interests and preferences without offering any concessions or benefits in return," the report said.

    ISW notes that putin, during a speech at the valdai club on November 7, said that he was open to discussions aimed at "restoring" US-russian relations, but that the US should start these talks, and hinted that russia would only consider a reset of US-russian relations if the US lifted sanctions against russia and stopped supporting Ukraine – conditions that benefit russia alone and do not benefit the United States.

    On November 8, kremlin spokesman dmitry peskov said that putin's statement about talks with the United States does not mean that russia's military goals in Ukraine have changed, but rather that russia's goals remain the same.

    putin may be trying to create the appearance that he is mending fences with Trump, but in reality putin is signaling to his domestic audience that the kremlin is unwilling to give in to any aspect of its maximalist goals in Ukraine or on the wider world stage

    – the ISW report says.

    russian opposition outlet Meduza reported that the kremlin has issued a manual for state and pro-kremlin media with instructions to cover putin's statements at valdai, emphasizing russia's special role in creating the proposed "new world order" and portraying putin as the "world's ‘greatest’ leader" whose deep thinking, "breadth of political thought" and role as "the voice of the global majority and the new world order" set him apart from Western political leaders, presumably including Trump.

    Putin is trying to influence Trump's foreign policy and reset relations with the US on his terms – ISWNovember 8 2024, 07:59 AM • 56577 views

    It is noted that putin's proposed "new world order" emphasizes an interconnected international system without great powers or security blocs, but the kremlin's actions contradict and undermine the ideals and principles he proposed.

    putin has presented a six-point plan for his "new world order," which includes:

    • openness between states to interact with each other;
    • lack of universal dogmas;
    • taking into account the perspectives of all countries when making global decisions;
    • rejection of security blocs that unite groups of states;
    • “justice for all”, including the eradication of xenophobia and intolerance; and ‘sovereign equality’ of all states.

    However, as ISW points out, putin's proposal ignores the kremlin's ongoing efforts to increase its power and influence in neighboring countries, including attempts to destabilize Moldova and Georgia, flirting with a group of anti-Western states such as North Korea, the People's Republic of China and Iran, and waging its illegal and unprovoked war of aggression in Ukraine.

    "The kremlin likely aims to use this rhetoric to distract and provide plausible deniability to russia's very real efforts to undermine pro-Western governments and exert its influence internationally, as well as to promote the expansion of BRICS and the so-called 'new Eurasian security architecture' that the kremlin has created to counter NATO," the ISW report says.

    Battalion commander Yuriy Fedorenko reported on the difficult situation in Kupyansk region due to massive enemy pressure. russian troops, having failed to achieve their goals by November 1, continue to build up forces in the region.

    The situation in the Kupyansk region is difficult, and the russians are putting pressure with all possible means. By November 1, the invaders failed to accomplish the task of occupying the left-bank Kupyansk region, so now russia is throwing more and more forces to accomplish this task. This was stated by the commander of the Achilles battalion of striking unmanned aerial systems of the 92nd separate assault brigade named after the ataman Ivan Sirko, Yuriy Fedorenko, on the air of one of the Ukrainian TV channels, UNN reports.

    Kupyansk region. The situation there is much more complicated, with disproportionate forces and means. The enemy is pushing with everything they have. By November 1, they were unable to realize the task of fully occupying the left-bank Kupyansk region, so now the leadership of the Russian occupation forces, despite potential losses, is sending more and more forces forward to realize this task

    – Fedorenko said.

    He said that the enemy did not succeed in the last day, the Defense Forces managed to repel numerous attacks and hold all positions.

    Media: Trump's "peace plan" may include European troops in buffer zone

    Trump's plan calls for a 1,200-kilometer buffer zone to be patrolled by European troops. Ukraine is offered to postpone joining NATO for 20 years in exchange for American weapons.

    Donald Trump may call on European and British troops to provide an 800-mile (1,200-kilometer) buffer zone between the russian and Ukrainian armies as part of a plan to freeze the war between the two countries. This is reported by The Telegraph, writes UNN.

    Details

    It is noted that the details of the plan emerged after President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that any attempt to achieve peace by appeasing russia would mean "suicide" for Europe.

    According to The Telegraph, this plan is one of several that Trump is considering. Before being elected to the presidency, he said he would begin peace talks before his inauguration in January.

    The president-elect's plan, outlined by three Trump staffers, calls for a freeze on the current front line. The plan would also require Ukraine to agree to postpone its ambition to join NATO for 20 years.

    In exchange, the US will supply Ukraine with weapons to keep russia from resuming the war

    – the statement said.

    The Telegraph notes that the United States will neither provide troops to patrol and secure the buffer zone nor fund its mission.

    We can provide training and other support, but the barrel of the weapon will be European. We are not sending American men and women to keep the peace in Ukraine. And we are not paying for it. Involve the Poles, Germans, British and French in this

    – said a member of the Trump team.

    According to The Telegraph, Ukraine has signaled that it is willing to listen to Mr. Trump's plans to end the war, but has also said it will resist any deal that looks like a victory for russia.

    Trump has never explained in detail what kind of deal he thinks could end the war.

    But the allies have presented different plans based on the idea of freezing the current front line.

    In particular, J.D. Vance, who was elected as Vice President, in October, commenting on the war in Ukraine, spoke about "ceding territory". He said that Donald Trump's leadership would promote a "peaceful" settlement.

    In June, Keith Kellogg and Fred Fleitz, who advised Trump during his first presidency, presented him with another proposal that called for America to cut aid to Ukraine if it did not enter into peace talks.

    Addendum

    President Volodymyr Zelenskyy commented on Donald Trump's plan to end the war, noting that a quick end to the war means losses for Ukraine.

    Zelenskyy also stated that a ceasefire without security guarantees would mean a complete occupation of Ukraine.

    EU officials explore options for supporting Ukraine if Trump halts aid, Bloomberg reports

    European officials met in Budapest on Nov. 7 to discuss whether the European Union would be willing to continue funding support for Ukraine if U.S. President-elect Donald Trump halts U.S. assistance, Bloomberg reported Nov. 8, citing unnamed sources familiar with the matter.

    One source expressed concern that Trump might try to shift the financial burden to Europe, though initial discussions did not indicate any drastic change in direction.

    Trump has repeatedly criticized European NATO members for not investing enough in their defense capabilities and relying on the U.S. On the campaign trail, he also claimed he could end Russia's war within 24 hours if elected, though he has not elaborated on how he would achieve this.

    There are concerns that the new U.S. president may reduce support for Kyiv and pursue a deal with the Kremlin at Ukraine's expense.

    Some European officials suggested that the real issue may not be the money itself, but rather the military resources, which are primarily provided by Washington.

    According to the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, the EU is the largest provider of aid to Ukraine, having allocated a total of 118 billion euros ($127 billion) since Russia's full-scale invasion. The U.S. has provided nearly 85 billion euros ($91 billion) in assistance.

    "Ukraine is grateful for all the support from our partners, and we are open to any constructive ideas to achieve just peace for our country," President Volodymyr Zelensky said at the European Political Community Summit in Budapest.

    He was among the first to congratulate Trump on his victory in the U.S. presidential election, voicing hopes for "strong bipartisan support for Ukraine in the United States." The two also had a follow-up phone call, agreeing to strengthen cooperation, Ukraine's president said.
