Today marks the awaited deadline for possible news about a Trump-Putin meeting. The author notes that, so far, there are no confirmations from American sources about such a meeting; current information comes mainly from Russian propaganda, which continues to influence Ukraine’s information space.
Doubts about the reality of this meeting persist, partly because Trump is unlikely to engage with Putin unless there is clear personal or geopolitical benefit. Intelligence provided to Trump about Russian motivations and intentions also seems to factor into the hesitancy to commit to talks.
The discussion further examines progress in Ukraine’s defense industry, with emphasis on domestic development of high-tech missile systems in partnership with Turkey and European countries. While producing advanced systems is a lengthy and complex process, Ukraine has the potential to achieve greater technological independence in armaments.
The narrative also highlights a key paradigm shift—Ukraine is the first country to effectively resist Russian aggression, challenging the previous tradition of seeking compromises with the aggressor. The author suggests that broadening cooperation with other states is crucial to enhance security in strategic regions.
