I talked to the BBC about the G7 Summit and what we can expect from Europe’s pressure on President Trump to help Ukraine and press Russia to agree to a ceasefire and end the war. My conclusion: Not much.
Trump is unlikely to increase pressure on Russia beyond what he has already done. But he could help move things along if he were to present President Putin with the true picture of what is happening on the battlefield. Just as the US showed Putin the intelligence on his pending attack, Trump could present the US understanding what is happening on the battlefield to counter the mis-information that Putin is getting from his generals who don’t tell him the truth.
