One day, reports claim that \u201cthere is no need for a personal meeting between Rubio and Lavrov \u2014 everything has already been discussed\u201d (while at the same time the meeting is supposedly still planned for October 30). Next, we hear that \u201cthe meeting between Trump and Putin has been postponed \u2014 there were no agreements at all, only preliminary discussions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"673\" data-end=\"932\">Meanwhile, the Russian Foreign Ministry declares that Moscow will not agree to a ceasefire because \u201cmost of Ukraine would remain under Nazi rule.\u201d In essence, this is an open statement of intent to occupy all of Ukraine, leaving no room for any peace deal.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"934\" data-end=\"1091\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">At the same time, information has surfaced suggesting that Trump believes \u201cthe parties are not yet sufficiently prepared for a meeting at the highest level.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<aside class=\"shortcode-also\" data-title=\"Read also\" >\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/en\/back-in-the-same-boat-why-trump-still-trusts-putin\/\">\u201cBack in the same boat\u201d: why Trump still trusts Putin<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\n<p data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"392\">Against this backdrop, the Russian State Duma has ratified a strategic partnership agreement with Venezuela. At the same time, Trump is sending troops to the Venezuelan coast, while Republicans are declaring that he will \u201coverthrow Maduro as an illegitimate president.\u201d It is hard to imagine Trump ignoring such an overt show of defiance \u2014 a challenge to his own claim to global leadership.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"394\" data-end=\"717\">So, it seems clear that no meeting will take place. Either Putin is afraid, or Trump has no desire to listen to hours of vague, rambling explanations without any concrete commitments. After all, it is difficult to understand what the two could have discussed for two and a half hours without leaving any trace of results.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"719\" data-end=\"1078\">Meanwhile, Trump\u2019s attention has shifted to Gaza \u2014 on the brink of another military escalation \u2014 and to Venezuela, where preparations for either a violent regime change or a direct intervention appear to be underway. Both situations are far more tangible and controllable than dealing with Putin\u2019s inflated ambitions and chronic avoidance of responsibility.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1080\" data-end=\"1354\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">It only remains to hope that Trump will finally realize that Putin is deceiving him again and again. And that the United States will, at last, adopt a consistent anti-Russian course \u2014 not just in rhetoric, but in action: with \u201cTomahawks,\u201d new sanctions, and real deterrence.<\/p>\n<p><em>As a reminder, US President Donald Trump recently had a telephone conversation with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.
