Has the relationship between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin have gone out of the rail? A popular Russian newspaper thinks so. It turned to trains to explain the current status of the US Russian relationship.

Recently announced the Tabloid Moscowy Komomolets, “A heavily collision looks unavoidable.”

“Trump Locomotives and Putin Locomoty are moving fast to each other.

“And both will not be closed or stop and will not be reversed.”

For ‘Putin Locomotive’, the so -called ‘Special Military Operation’: Russia’s war in Ukraine. The Kremlin leader did not show the desire to end the hostility and declare a long -term war period.

Meanwhile, the ‘Trump Locomotive’ is speeding up the efforts to put pressure on Moscow to end the battle: the additional restrictions against Russia and an additional approval of Russia’s trade partners, such as India and China.

President Trump has a two American atomic submarine, claiming that Russia has a place near Russia.

When you switch to a nuclear sub -up -to -date, you know that things are serious.

But does that mean that the White House is really on the “collision course” with the Kremlin on Ukraine?

Or Donald Trump’s special messenger Steve Witcoff has visited Moscow this week, the sign is that the agreement between Russia and the United States is still possible for all posting?

In the early weeks of the second Trump’s presidency, Moscow and Washington looked good to reboot their bilateral relations.

Head-on is not a hint of collision. Too far from it. Sometimes it seemed as if Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump were heading in the same direction. In February, the United States favored Russia in the United Nations, and protested the European-Mid-headed resolution, protesting Russia’s “aggression” in Ukraine.

In that month, two presidents talked about visiting each other’s countries in telephone calls. It seemed that the Putin-Strap summit could happen any day.

Meanwhile, the Trump administration was pressuring not to Moscow but on Kiev and was choosing a battle with traditional American associate countries like Canada and Denmark. In speech and TV interviews, American officials strictly criticize NATO and European leaders.

It was all music in the ears of Kremlin.

“There is more similarity in the United States in Russia than Washington Brussels or Kiev,” said Constantin Blocin, a political scientist at the Russian Academy Cadmi of Sciences Center for Securities Studies in March.

In the next month, the same newspaper was confused:

“The Trumpist is revolutionary. They are surrounded by this system. They can only get support. The unity in the west is no longer there. It is no longer geographically-coalition. It is trusted and quickly destroyed by Trumpism.”

Meanwhile, Donald Trump’s ambassador Steve Vitkoff was a regular visit to Russia. He spent hours in the discussion with Vladimir Putin, he made four trips here in just two months. After a meeting, the Kremlin leader introduced him to Donald Trump’s portrait to return to the White House.

President Trump is called “clearly touched”.

But President Trump was looking for more than a picture of Moscow. President Putin wanted to sign up for the unconditional consensus in Ukraine.

Despite claiming that Moscow diplomats are committed to a settlement, Russia is now believed to have implemented this initiative on the battlefield.

This is why Donald Trump has become even more frustrated by the Kremlin.

In recent weeks, he has accused Russia’s tireless attacks on Ukrainian cities “disgusting”, “defamation” and president Putin to speak “Bulasheet” on Ukraine.

Last month, Donald Trump announced a 50 -day ultimatum to end the war to President Putin, threatening approval and rates. He then reduced it to ten days. The deadline will be expired later this week. Until now, there is no sign that Vladimir Putin will put pressure from Washington.

Then again, Vladimir Putin really feel pressure?

“Donald Trump has changed a lot of deadlines and he has turned his way on one way or another, I do not think that Putin takes him seriously,” said Nina Khrushcheva, a professor of New School in New York city.

“As long as Putin is about to fight or say Ukraine, we are tired, we are ready to accept our terms.”

“I think Putin is sitting there in Kremlin and think he is fulfilling the dreams of Russian Zars, and then the general secretary like Joseph Stalin shows Western countries that Russia should not be disrespectful.”

From the picture I painted so far, it seems that there is a strong collision between Putin and Trump Locomotives.

Not required.

Donald Trump sees himself as a great deal, and in terms of things he did not try to secure someone with Vladimir Putin.

Steve Vitkoff will return to Russia for discussion with the Kremlin leader in Russia this week. We don’t know what kind of offer he can bring with you. But some commentators in Moscow estimates that there will be more carrots than the stick. President Trump said on Sunday, “Russia” is very good to avoid approval “, said President Trump on Sunday.

On Monday, Avan Loskrev, an associate professor of the political theory of Moscow’s MGIMO University, told Ezwestia to facilitate the dialogue. Vitakoff “can present a beneficial offer of cooperation (Russia) opening after the Ukraine agreement.

Is it enough to convince the Kremlin to make peace of peace after the three -and -a -half -year war?

No guarantee.

However, in Ukraine so far, Vladimir Putin has not emphasized the neutrality of Ukraine and the future size of the Ukrainian army from its maximum demands on the province.

Donald Trump wants a contract. Vladimir Putin wants a victory.
