Putin is implementing his plans through Trump

Foreign analysts believe that the new US "peace plan" could cause a split in NATO.

Retired US Army Lieutenant General Ben Hodges expressed his opinion on this matter:

This is a dream scenario for Russia. Since the Soviet Union, its goal has been to drive a wedge between the US and Europe. I think the reason Trump ignores Europe is because he sees Europe as insignificant.

Journalists are convinced: the Russian dictator has long realized that he cannot defeat NATO troops in a full-scale war.

Putin cannot deny the fact that his soldiers are not capable of defeating even Ukrainian soldiers.

Therefore, the Kremlin leader's only plan at the moment is to defeat the Alliance in the political arena by undermining it from within.

Politically, Russia is on the verge of victory. This will create huge divisions in the transatlantic partnership, warns NATO members Ed Arnold, a former British army officer.
