“There are already some developments. Here’s what the Trump team recently stated: they are ready to discuss issues of nuclear disarmament. This is precisely what Russia wanted—to talk not only about Ukraine but also about the entire range of problems. This means that discussions can also include issues of global security, strategic stability, and so on,” notes Vadim Karasev.
However, he emphasizes that an important aspect is what each party aims to achieve. For Trump, it is crucial to freeze the war along the front line, to provide guarantees to Ukraine, and to assure Russia that Ukraine will not join NATO for a certain number of years. This is the framework of negotiations from his side. The Ukrainian approach, the expert continues, is similar—it involves a forced freeze, enhanced security guarantees from Europe, and certainly from the U.S.
“And what does Putin propose? Not only to end the war but also to discuss the issues of Ukraine's post-war arrangement, its internal political system, and the structure of domestic politics. Because from Putin’s perspective and the classic understanding, foreign policy is a continuation of domestic policy. But Trump is not prepared for that,” explains Vadim Karasev.
In general, he states, Trump and his team view the Russia-Ukraine war as a conventional territorial, interstate, or regional conflict. But the question, the expert emphasizes, is not just whether Ukraine will join NATO or not, but what will happen politically, as Putin aims to neutralize it.
