Trump and Putin: Negotiations Echoing Historical Stakes**

Upcoming phone call between Trump and Putin aims to negotiate Russia's gains in Ukraine conflict amidst concerns from Europe and Ukraine.**


The conversation between U.S. President Trump and Russian President Putin mirrors the historical Yalta Conference, focusing on territorial rewards for Russia amid ongoing tensions in Ukraine.**

In a striking parallel to the historic Yalta Conference of 1945, President Trump and President Vladimir Putin are set to engage in a pivotal phone call aimed at delineating territorial stakes in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Trump, while conversing with reporters aboard Air Force One, hinted that their discussion would center around the territories and assets Russia might retain in a potential ceasefire agreement with Ukraine.

The original Yalta Conference saw world leaders, including Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt, dividing Europe into spheres of influence, a decision that would shape geopolitics for decades. Trump, suggesting a similar high-stakes dialogue, appears ready to negotiate what could potentially reward Russia for its sustained hostilities, beginning with the annexation of Crimea in 2014.

White House insiders have indicated a strong likelihood that Russia will maintain control over Crimea and possibly other territories currently occupied by Russian forces. Despite assurances that Ukrainian and European officials are kept informed, there is uncertainty surrounding their acceptance of any agreements struck between the two leaders.

Trump's administration has remained vague about the specifics of the impending negotiations. Notably, real estate mogul and special envoy Steve Witkoff had recent discussions with Putin in Moscow to prepare for this momentous dialogue. The dichotomy of power dynamics bears a resemblance to wartime negotiations of the past, setting the stage for a future where the outcome could redefine borders and influence across Europe.
