He discussed this in his blog.
For now, he notes, Trump has given Kellogg 100 days, but it’s uncertain whether the Russian-Ukrainian war can be resolved within that time frame. Therefore, he must start thinking about how to handle the situation right away. According to the expert, if the war continues, it will not be the same as during Biden's presidency; under Trump, there will be a significant escalation, which could also lead to a Third World War and a nuclear confrontation.
“Biden neither won nor lost; he left behind an unfinished play for Trump. For Trump, this is indeed an unsolvable problem: he needs to end the war while emerging as the victor. He must satisfy, to some extent, the interests of Russia and those of Ukraine, which are incompatible,” emphasizes Vadim Karasev.
And we must not forget, he reminds us, that Trump clearly sees the cause-and-effect relationship between the Russian-Ukrainian war and the possibility of a Third World War. The first must end to avoid the second. However, Biden, he adds, his team, and indeed no one in the West has mentioned this; they do not particularly entertain the notion of nuclear escalation.
“All of Trump’s recent statements (editor's note – which he makes) every day could be part of his negotiation tactics. This is a strategy to scare in some instances, to show that I am putting pressure on Russia, that I won’t give them any slack, and in some cases to avoid being accused of abandoning Ukraine. It reminds me of the final days before the ‘Hamas’ deal with Israel. Trump was very tough against ‘Hamas’, threatening and intimidating, but in the end, it turned out that the deal wasn’t that terrible,” reflects Vadim Karasev.
