Trump and Putin discuss concessions: what scenarios for Ukraine.
US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, commenting on the meeting in Alaska between US President Donald Trump and Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, suggested possible concessions and that 'no one will be satisfied'. However, there is a chance for peace.
He stated this on Fox News.
Why Putin agreed to negotiations
'This is a very complicated battlefield, I don't think Vladimir Putin would have met unless he felt this pressure. And I think there is a chance. The president has defined parameters, along with Steve Witkoff and others. We are on the side of strength in the case of 'peace through strength'. But on the side of negotiations, you know, there may be an exchange of territories. There will be concessions. No one will be satisfied', said Hegseth.
He also added that Trump is the only one who can resolve the military conflict.
'No one else could create the conditions that would lead to such a meeting. President Trump has already changed the rules of the game. He has created conditions for possible resolution through negotiations, which has been his goal from the very beginning', said the Pentagon chief.
It is reminded that on August 15, a meeting between Trump and Putin will take place in the American state of Alaska.
The US President stated that Zelensky must be ready to 'sign something'.
For his part, Zelensky stated that Ukrainians will not give their land to the occupier.
The President of the United States, Donald Trump, explained why Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky will not attend the meeting with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin on August 15.
The US President also suggested that the meeting with the Russian dictator could end well or poorly.
The US Secretary of Defense expressed the opinion that the meeting between Trump and Putin could lead to concessions and discussions about a possible end to the war. He also emphasized the importance of negotiations in resolving conflicts. At the same time, the readiness of the Ukrainian leader to sign any agreements in favor of the occupiers is being discussed.
