Rainer Saks spoke in the broadcast. He said that the US does not understand Russia's difficulties. The US does not use the opportunity to end the war.
Trump and Putin talked on the phone. Trump was young and energetic. But he left tired. Putin influenced Trump.
Trump overestimated the US capability. He promised to end the war in 24 hours. But he could not do it. He lacks negotiation skills.
US actions yielded results. Ukraine and Russia started talking. The prisoner exchange was beneficial for Ukraine. Russia was not interested in it. Russia does not do everything the US wants.
The US does not understand the conflict. US pressure exists. But it is not enough. Trump does not want a long confrontation. He wants quick agreements.
Saks said that US threats are blackmail. Trump is trying to find a solution. Russia needs negotiations. A ceasefire would be beneficial for them. The US does not know how to use Russia's difficulties.
