France International Radio reported today (August 13): "Putin is not former President Medvedev, he only speaks grand words to scare people, forcing Trump to dispatch two nuclear submarines as a warning. In a fit of rage, Trump reduced the ultimatum to 10 days, and Putin chose silence. He was waiting for an opportunity, and indeed, he seized the chance when Trump's special envoy Witkow came to the Kremlin. Putin avoided maximizing his demands in front of this envoy, not mentioning Ukraine's 'de-Nazification' or 'demilitarization,' but limited himself to territorial demands. This seemed to make Trump feel a certain 'goodwill,' so......"
[Clever] Comments: First, Trump has repeatedly issued ultimatums that were ignored by Putin, ultimately forcing him to send a special envoy before the deadline, which actually shows his compromise. Second, in the context of comprehensive Western sanctions and even a global arrest warrant for Putin, Putin dared to go alone to the United States, regardless of the outcome of the meeting or the war, this fact directly announced the partial failure of Western pressure efforts. Third, bypassing Europe and Ukraine in the "two-Putin meeting," clearly indicates that Trump has abandoned both, and they have become inevitable sacrifices, while the "two-Putin" are reshaping the existing situation through action. All of this will keep Kyiv, Brussels, Berlin, Paris, and Warsaw awake all night.
