Diplomat Roman Bezsmertnyi stated this on Espreso TV."Putin will not contact Trump regarding documents or ideas being finalized with Kyiv, let alone with Europe. And I would view these Putin's threats not so much as threats to Europe, but as an ultimatum to Trump: think about who you are with – with me or with Europe, because the topic of the joint destruction of a united Europe is increasingly gaining informational argumentation. This applies to both Donald Trump's and Putin's positions. After all, as soon as Trump takes a step towards Europe, Medvedev, Putin, and their entire entourage immediately engage with anti-European rhetoric," Bezsmertnyi noted.According to the diplomat, the statement Putin made a few hours before the meeting in the Kremlin clearly indicates the task set for Trump: choose whether you are joining us in a new order, or continuing to be with Europe. And depending on this, the situation will further develop."This is also confirmed by Ushakov's statement, where he says that Putin conveyed several political signals to the United States. The emphasis on the word 'political' here is clearly inappropriate, as it refers to signals concerning the operation to buy Donald Trump through various business schemes," Bezsmertnyi pointed out.The diplomat also emphasized that the messages voiced by Putin are obviously implementing a counter-program. For a long time, Trump tried to pull Putin away from China, then China away from Putin. Now it is clear that Putin is working to pull Trump away from the collective West."Europeans are currently assessing this furious threat from Putin precisely in this way. They perceive it rather as claims against Europe for supporting, having supported, and continuing to support Ukraine. And also as an ultimatum to Trump himself, so that he makes up his mind faster. Moreover – not just to make up his mind, but to 'buy a ticket to Russia,' paying for it with a Ukraine torn to pieces," Bezsmertnyi concluded.On December 2, five-hour negotiations concluded between Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff, and Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner.
