Let’s imagine for a moment that by some magical means Russia managed to get all sanctions lifted without exception, annexed all the territories Putin talks about, reduced the military budget, and began living as if nothing had happened. This is exactly what a huge number of people living in Russia dream of.

So, the meeting between Donald Trump and turned out to be brief, meaningless, and strange. There will be no ceasefire on the Russian-Ukrainian front; the war will continue. Until a peace agreement is reached or indefinitely – it’s anyone’s guess.

American politician and diplomat Henry Kissinger would have turned 102 today (considering he lived to 100, this is quite a realistic assumption). His name is firmly associated with the concepts of «shuttle diplomacy» and Realpolitik. For his efforts to end the Vietnam War in 1973, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Despite being one of the architects of U.S. foreign policy aimed against the USSR during the Cold War, he later often spoke sympathetically about Russia, justified its foreign policy actions, and met with. Kissinger’s ideological legacy is especially interesting in light of the Russia-Ukraine war and Donald Trump’s attempts to stop it.
