There is not much to write here - this was predictable, as the Americans at the negotiations in Miami did not push the territorial issue, which is basic for both Trump and Putin."It seems the Americans have indeed somewhat changed their strategy: first, they will discuss everything important to them with the Russians, and then they will press us on the territorial issue."Separately, we should once again pay attention to China. On the eve of the Kushner-Witkoff meeting with Putin, Wang Yi visited Moscow and conveyed something to Shoigu. What he conveyed can only be guessed. But it was definitely a "probing of the Russian position" on how far the Russians in their dealings with the United States are willing to go in matters of cooperation on the northern route and Arctic minerals (hydrocarbons and rare earths). Also, one should not forget about Macron's visit to China, where security guarantees for Europe and Ukraine in this context will certainly be discussed.What should concern us now? The basic question is money. And not only for 2026, but, in general, for the next 5 years at least. If we follow the scenario of accelerating the end of the war (if the U.S. and Russia agree), the only guarantees of our security can be guarantees of our financing and arms sales. And no one, it seems, is talking about this at all. Neither Witkoff's 28 points, nor the reduced version developed in Switzerland, are about this at all. And without external money - we are Zimbabwe.
