The New York Times.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe Polish foreign minister reminded readers of the Trump administration\u2019s earlier hopes for a quick end to the war in Ukraine\u2014and of how Russia only escalated its aggression, resorting to provocations against NATO member states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“These and other incidents are yet more evidence that the Kremlin is not interested in peace, but in escalating the conflict. If this surprises you, you simply haven\u2019t been paying attention,” he writes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Sikorski, for Putin, the summit with Trump in Alaska was an attempt to buy time, while his goals\u2014reviving the Russian Empire, dividing the West, and weakening the United States\u2014have not changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“But it is possible to negotiate with Russia. Just do it in two stages: first, demonstrate strength, and only then engage in dialogue,” the essay says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Polish minister writes that this requires continued financial and military support for Ukraine, as well as efforts to undermine the foundations of Russia\u2019s war economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“A good start would be if the self-proclaimed MAGA followers in Hungary and Slovakia listened to Trump and stopped buying Russian oil\u2014and finally made use of the more than $200 billion in frozen Russian assets in Europe to provide financial assistance to the victims of Putin\u2019s war,” he argues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a reminder, after the Putin\u2013Trump meeting in Alaska on August 15, the American president began publicly criticizing Russia more frequently for its unwillingness to move toward a settlement of the war in Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After meeting with Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Trump even said he believed in Ukraine\u2019s ability to reclaim the territories occupied by Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Recently, the U.S. president also expressed confidence that he would eventually succeed in resolving the war launched by Russia against Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
