Russian President Vladimir Putin will be forced to admit that he is working well as soon as possible. Putin does not recognize the importance of being ready to move on to other priorities if US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is made to other priorities if effortless in the peace deal deal (Forbes.ruApril 18).
US President Donald Trump has confirmed that the United States will abandon the peace deal without setting a certain period of time (KommersantApril 18).

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Europe, Russia promises its ceasefire 2.935 times (X / @ zelenskyuaApril 20). Many small clashes were pierced inevitable in reconciliation, but Zelenskyy applied for 30 days extension (RBCApril 19).
After the weeks after the demand and approval requirements of Ukraine, Putin finds a place for a political maneuver restricted to a large number of intentions to achieve a clear victory (Novaya Gazeta EuropeApril 18; KommersantApril 19). It is also struggling to understand that the United States, the United States, planned to move and in what direction.
USA focus on other priorities
The first reaction to the United States is ready to work in the US state in the United States, the first reaction was a description of the success of the United States to focus on other priorities and the success of the war against Ukraine (Ria NovostiApril 19).
The landscape would be free to deliver a crushing defeat, weakened defeat, weakened to Ukraine, and to deliver a crushing defeat with the abolition of US support (Topwar.ruApril 18). In character, experienced Russian State Media Pundits stressed the level of US policy, instead of the centralization and indisputability of the US coalition of Ukraine (RiacApril 18). The key is clearly, Trump’s highest reasons for the long war and even in contrast to their AIDS, the official claim that the long war understands the deep causes of the long war (Rossyiskaya gazetaApril 19).
Expectations disseminated in Russian assessments are prepare for Europe to travel, not only the peace talks, but to keep Europe in the fight against the war (IzvestiaApril 18). Europe is strongly assessed with strong suspicion of strengthening the collective potential for Russia and the armament of Ukraine, and it is expected to dispel under the influence of new US tariffs (Nezavisimaya GazetaApril 16). The share of the Russian state for Ukraine, the share of Ukraine, reached new levels on the official website of the Russian Foreign Intelligence (SVR), which is in a place against “Euro-Fashia” again –SvrApril 16; JellyfishApril 17).
A multilateral effort
Russian commentators tend to follow a number of US officials in Paris in Paris, in Paris, after a number of meetings in Paris in Paris to make the United States high-level officials, and after a number of meetings in Ukraine. London is scheduled for a follow-up meeting for this week (Current timeApril 18; Nv.uaApril 20; X / @ zelenskyuaApril 21).
The emphasis on the depths of differences between the United States and the European Union is concealed comfortably, the agreed reality.
This recently demonstrated Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s Washington, DC and Trump-in-law friendship and positive discussion and ended Russia’s war against UkraineWhite houseOpen Italian governmentApril 17; Novaya Gazeta EuropeApril 18). Moscow needs to be worried about increasing the growing efforts, as well as the European appointment to integrate the defense-industrial base and integrate with Ukrainian Steel Porcupine.Re: RussiaApril 14). These concerns condemn the plans to place a new German government in the Russian media in the Russian media and condemn their plans to plans to invest in European peace in Ukraine (Nezavisimaya GazetaApril 15; InsiderApril 18).
Strategic partnership
Putin is trying to prize that the Trump management continues peace talks or to remain in this position. The open direction of US interests is the Middle East and Moscow is closely following the progress of the new start between the United States and Iran (IzvestiaApril 20). Among the first round of these talks and the second in Rome, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi found time to visit Moscow to a spectator with Putin (Rossyiskaya gazetaApril 18).
Although the Kremlin estimates that “patriotic” Russian commentators estimated that regional tensions are a new spike, Iran is eager to demonstrate the ability to contribute to a new deal on its nuclear programTopwar.ruApril 17). Putin is probably important to show that Russia’s strategic partnership is not in the focus of Iran. Meeting with Qatar Emiri, Tamim Bin Hamad Al Thani, Kremlin, Putin’s networks, was preparing to demonstrate Putin’s networks, but to spread Putin’s networks (President of RussiaOpen KommersantApril 17).
Zelenskyy hits the blame
Kremlin, Trump administration tries to want to forget the peace agreement in Ukraine, while developing the US-Russian talks in other matters. These two goals are not easily compatible. Therefore, Russia seems that he stayed at the foot of a warranty war. Putin, however, both and newly earned trust and newly earned trust and steven Witkoff, Trump’s Key Negotiations in potential business opportunities (IzvestiaApril 15). Putin needs to avoid the final point set by its own strange way, it is aware of the risk, which is aware of a long ceasefire in prohibited conditions (President of UkraineApril 14).
Russia’s war against Ukraine has become a natural environment for Putin’s regime survival. This reality cannot be reconciled with a meaningless war or a normal life desire between Ukraine or Ukraine and Europe and the most of the peace or most Russians. If it coordinates his authority with this reluctant war for a longer period, both will collapse in the weight of their contradictions.
