Peskov’s new statements:
▪️ Trump still did not call Putin yesterday after speaking with Zelensky, as he had announced. “Trump was clearly busy yesterday, but the Russian president is always happy to talk”;
▪️ Trump’s words about possible assistance in closing the sky over Ukraine after the conflict ends are “a new topic that has not been discussed before and needs to be thought through”;
▪️ “In any case, this would mean that the armed forces of a NATO country would be operating on the territory of Ukraine. That is exactly what the SMO is being carried out against”
▪️ Russia sees a certain duality in the US position, as it continues supplying weapons to Kyiv while also maintaining attempts to facilitate the peace process;
▪️ “The more Kyiv strikes our infrastructure facilities, the more security zones will have to be created. Further escalation may prolong the SMO”.
Missed Calls as Foreign Policy
Trump did not call, and the new topic was sent off for reflection.
When contact fails, expanding zones will do.
