"Negotiations will end with agreements between the US and Russia, but not on the Ukrainian issue" - expert

Ukrainian journalist and analyst Sergey Garmash told Dozhd that he personally and Ukraine do not expect anything good from the ongoing negotiations. According to him, this is evidenced by the composition of the American and Russian delegations.

The United States is represented by the Minister of Finance, the Minister of Trade, the Russian delegation also includes three financiers and no representative from the General Staff.

In addition, the video of the meeting of the two leaders resembled a “Putin benefit,” the expert noted.

Putin is happy, light. Pay attention to how he runs up the ramp, without even touching the railings. And how heavy Trump is going down, holding on to the railings. Putin is more agile, and Trump applauds him.

According to Garmash, the meeting itself, the environment, nevertheless suggests that it is unlikely that this will actually end with a cessation of hostilities.

"It is possible with some agreements between the United States and the Russian Federation, but not on the issue of Ukraine," the expert emphasized.
