The newspaper records a discrepancy between Putin's cool relationship and Trump's enthusiastic reaction. As “FT” points out, Putin – who announced work with Ukraine on the Memorandum on future negotiations and a possible truce for a limited time – did not give up his postulates “to eliminate the basic causes of crisis” (the Kremlin understands, among others, resignation from Natowski ambitions, demilitarization and “denasification” of Ukraine).
Meanwhile, Trump announced that he would signal talks between Ukraine and Russia, but according to “FT” he also signaled that he could move away from the mediation of the conflict, claiming that Russia and Ukraine must agree on the terms of the agreement with each other.
