China needs weakened Russia: Why are these wants to continue the war

Putin does not want a truce and will try his best to disrupt him, says journalist Vadim Denysenko. Before the next round of talks with Trump, the Kremlin dictator performs cunning maneuvers that are obvious to all, including Trump. Putin instructed the Defense Minister Belousov to prepare a report on how Ukraine violates the energy truce. There is no doubt that the list of violations will be "scary". And tomorrow (today) it will be soaked in certain Western media and our useful idiots.

All this part of the "art preparation" to Putin's conversation with Trump, which should take place within 5-10 days, of course, if it happens. During this theoretically possible conversation, Putin, in view of everything, can ask for additional consultations (read: will take time and set new requirements). However, Trump will probably demand from Putin a specific promise of ceasefire during the conversation, because he clearly understands Putin's strategy. And here we have one important "option".

Putin realizes that he can agree to any truce if they do not have clear criteria and observation missions. Actually, we saw it in the energy truce. And so it is quite real that he will agree again to some quasi -spike that he will not follow. There is another option-it will blame Ukraine in everything and simply start blocking any initiative due to endless consultations in Saudi Arabia. Until he is ready to directly send Trump (he is afraid of a cut reaction).

But in any scenario, we have to understand: Putin is not going to go on a truce. It is worth noting that China started its game, giving this consent to the visit of SI to Moscow on May 9. China is not interested in the end of the war now (it needs weakened Russia, which will be the subject of trading with Trump). Putin also believes that his main trump card is the mediation in China -Ssha negotiations, and this is what he will sell Trump.

I remain while thinking that Putin will do his best to break this round of negotiations. Among other things, he believes that "neatly" ripped up now, he will not receive super -superstition and Trump will have to switch to another target.

It is worth noting here that in order to introduce the Trump's superfluous sanctions, you need to negotiate with Saudi (Persian Gulf Monarchies) to increase oil production and reorient this oil to India as US main partner in the region and one of the main consumers of Russian oil now. It is possible but will take several months. And so Putin understands that he has time and can continue to be manipulated.
