Trump will have to take a step towards Putin for negotiations – Time

If Trump decides to make a deal with the Russian president, it is he who will have to take the first step, the newspaper reports, citing a former senior American official. “Given the differences of opinion in Trump’s entourage and the lack of a clear strategy to end the war in Ukraine, the Russians will probably wait and see what conclusions the administration comes to,” the article notes. Time emphasizes that Moscow is in no hurry to negotiate, as Russian troops have made significant progress at the front in 2024. However, “the Russians will be interested” if Trump decides he wants to make an agreement with Putin.
