Washington: US President Donald Trump has said that the Territorial Swap (exchange of land) will be discussed in his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Let us know that on Friday, an important meeting is going to be held between Trump and Putin at a military base in Alaska. The aim of this summit is not only to determine the direction of Russia-Ukraine war, but also affect the future of Europe’s security. Trump is seeing this meeting as an opportunity to show his diplomatic ability.

‘Ukraine did not come to deal with’

Trump has already claimed that he can end this war quickly. At the same time, this summit is a chance for Putin to strengthen Russia’s interests and keep Ukraine away from NATO. Before leaving for Alaska, Trump said, ‘There will be talk on the issue, but Ukraine has to decide, and I think they will take the right decision. I did not come here to deal with Ukraine. If I had not been the President, Putin would have grabbed the entire Ukraine by now, but now it would not happen.

This big bet of Trump is risky

Trump is taking a big risk by calling Putin to the US ground. Putin was isolated on the global stage after an attack on Ukraine 3.5 years ago. With this meeting, he can again be recognized on the global stage. Also, not including Ukraine President Volodimir Zelanski in this summit is against the policy of Western countries that said that ‘there can be no decision on Ukraine without Ukraine’. This has increased the danger that Trump can compromise that Ukraine is not approved.

Trump was seen excited about the meeting

Outside the White House in Washington on Friday morning, Trump wrote on his social media site Truth Social, ‘High Stax !!!’ He then left for Alaska from Air Force One. In an interview to Fox News Radio on Thursday, Trump said that he does not know whether the meeting would be able to cease immediately or not, but he wants a comprehensive peace agreement quickly. He also said that if this meeting was successful, he can call Zelanceci Alaska and hold a tripartite meeting, although Russia has not yet agreed to it.

Putin’s stance and Russia’s intention

Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavarov said, ‘We never plan in advance. Our situation is clear, and we will keep it firmly. ‘ Putin has always advocated a permanent peace agreement, including Russia’s terms, not a temporary ceasefire. Russia wants Ukraine not to join NATO and stop supply of arms. On the other hand, Ukraine and its allies have been rejecting these conditions.

Jailonsky does not trust Putin

Ukraine President Jailonsky has repeatedly questioned Putin’s intention. European allies are also concerned with this summit, as Ukraine is excluded from the conversation. Trump had earlier stated that the ‘Territorial Swap’ may include ‘Territorial Swap’ in the peace agreement, disappointing Ukraine and Europe. Former US Ambassador Ian Kelly described it as harmful for America and said, “It will only benefit Putin.”

Why Alaska was chosen for the meeting?

Alaska’s election is also important for this summit because it is just 5 km from Russia and the US bought it from Russia in 1867. Joint Base ElMendorf-Richardson, where it is meeting, has played an important role against the Soviet Union during the cold war. Pro-Cremlin analyst Sergei Markov says Alaska’s election reflects distance from Europe and Ukraine. Former CIA analyst George Bibi says that the summit held so soon may cause misunderstandings, but Trump will expect some concrete results, only then he is going into this meeting. (AP)
