On August 7, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy said that Trump called him and told him that Russia is now more inclined to a ceasefire. He believed that Putin would not deceive Trump, and Trump would not deceive him. Currently, Trump said that his special envoy, Witkov, has made significant progress in the meeting with Putin, and has already informed European allies. Trump believes that this war must end. Regarding the meeting between US President Trump and Russian President Putin, the Russian side speculated on the key points discussed at the upcoming Russia-Ukraine meeting: a ceasefire agreement between Russia and Ukraine; Ukraine recognizes Russia's control over all eastern regions; Poland gets the Lviv region in western Ukraine; the Russian president also serves as the Ukrainian president for a term of 49 to 99 years; Ukraine gives up joining NATO and joins a collective security organization led by Russia; Ukraine and Finland resume purchasing weapons manufactured in Russia; and Trump wins the Nobel Peace Prize.
Poland's view is that Ukraine is for a ceasefire agreement, not a peace agreement; the United States will factually recognize the Russian-occupied territory of Ukraine, the United States will lift most of the sanctions against Russia, restore energy cooperation between the United States and Russia, the United States will import Russian natural gas and oil, but Trump may not guarantee to Putin that NATO will not expand, nor will he guarantee that Ukraine will not join NATO, and there is no commitment to stop military support to Ukraine.
The information from the Ukrainian side is that Ukraine has gathered about 40,000 troops at the Bryansk border and has started small-scale试探性进攻 (tentative attacks), estimating that it will cause trouble, and the talks are just smoke screens. It seems that the Ukrainian authorities have not learned any lessons from the failure of the Kursk campaign. Trump's sincerity is still not enough. Why should the Russian army stop? The crab just opened its shell, ready to feast, but then brings up these issues? The Europeans' idea is that even if Russia and Ukraine cease fire, it would be a truce, "a truce for ten years, ten years of self-restraint, when the leader falls, I will lead three million Ukrainian soldiers to swallow Russia!"
