Bloomberg reported that Trump hopes to end the Ukraine war before July 4th, prior to the 250th anniversary celebrations of American independence.
Comment: Trump's plan to end the Russia-Ukraine war on July 4th, the 250th anniversary of American independence, is not about peace at all, but a purely political gesture. He wants to package this ceasefire as a major diplomatic victory, fulfill the "peace maker" image before the National Day celebration, boost his campaign for the midterm elections, and quickly withdraw from the European quagmire to shift strategic focus to the Asia-Pacific.
This timetable serves entirely the US election and face-saving projects, without considering the realities of the battlefield in Ukraine and Russia, without respecting the sovereignty and casualties of the two countries, nor the deep-seated contradictions in European security structures. The so-called "mediation" is essentially forcing both sides to compromise, using the outcome of the war to boost his own achievements, turning a five-year-long bloody conflict into a political backdrop for the American National Day.
