Global reaction towards historic phone call between Trump, Putin
(MENAFN) The historic phone call between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin has sparked widespread reactions across global media, with many viewing it as a diplomatic triumph for Russia and a setback for Ukraine and the European Union. The 90-minute conversation, the first such dialogue since the escalation of the Ukraine conflict in 2022, has left Ukraine feeling sidelined while upending US relations with its European allies.
During the call, Trump indicated he was open to keeping Ukraine out of NATO, aligning with one of Russia's longstanding concerns. He also suggested that it is "unlikely" Ukraine will regain all the territory it has lost to Russia in recent years. Although Trump clarified that Ukrainian President Zelensky was not excluded from the peace process, he hinted that Zelensky may eventually need to hold elections, with Moscow questioning his legitimacy after his term ends in May 2024.
Global media outlets have largely portrayed the phone call as a significant win for Russia, with UK’s Daily Telegraph calling it a victory for Putin’s worldview and a blow to the Biden-era principle of "nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine." Politico and Bloomberg echoed concerns that the call would undermine Ukrainian interests, leaving Ukraine vulnerable to further Russian aggression. CNN described the call as Putin’s "best day" since the invasion, marking a shift in US-European relations.
The Washington Post called it a "breakthrough" for Putin, ending nearly three years of Western isolation. It suggested that any potential peace deal may allow Russia to retain control of parts of Ukrainian territory. Meanwhile, EU officials expressed concerns that Trump’s approach would place the burden of reconstruction on Europe, potentially leading to further tensions within the EU, which could face a financial strain of up to $3.1 trillion over the next decade, according to Bloomberg.
