Bloomberg reveals Putin's expectations from talks with Trump.

Russian President Vladimir Putin believes that a breakthrough in Ukraine's defensive lines is possible by the end of this year. According to Bloomberg, the Kremlin aims to gain full control over four regions of Ukraine.

TALKS WITH TRUMP AND WASHINGTON

Sources report that such ambitious plans of Putin complicate potential negotiations with U.S. President Donald Trump.

European diplomats express concern over the possibility of enforced resolution of the conflict even if negotiations fail.

TRUMP'S STRATEGY AND PUTIN'S BEHAVIOR

Bloomberg analysts note that European leaders do not quite understand Trump's thoughts regarding his further behavior if negotiations with Moscow fail.

It is also noted that Putin is prepared for a prolonged war if it helps achieve his goals, and he looks optimistically upon potential sanctions from the U.S.

TRUMP'S COMMUNICATION

The U.S. President promised to inform Volodymyr Zelensky and other NATO allies about the results of his discussions with the Russian leadership.

In light of the aforementioned events, it becomes clear that the situation in eastern Ukraine remains tense, and the Russian leader's plans regarding Ukrainian territories pose serious threats to international security.
