Recent statements by Donald Trump emphasize that he will not intervene in European decisions regarding frozen Russian assets, leaving the issue to be resolved by Europe and Russia. This is prompting European countries to seek new ways to finance military aid to Ukraine, particularly by utilizing frozen Russian assets.
Simultaneously, nuclear rhetoric is escalating: Russia is showcasing the "Khabarovsk" submarine and referencing Poseidon and Sarmat missiles, while the US announces subcritical underground nuclear tests without chain reactions. China also continues to demonstrate its nuclear capabilities.
Experts suggest that this increased rhetoric may push the parties to negotiation, as the actual use of nuclear weapons is seen as unlikely.
The situation near Pokrovsk in Donetsk region is also under discussion. Observers point to the risk of heavy losses and complex evacuation logistics for equipment and soldiers. However, details are still being verified.
Analysts note that Donald Trump could play a key mediating role in future Russia-Ukraine negotiations, with his position influencing the wider diplomatic process.
At present, tensions remain high both at the frontlines and on the global political stage.
