Trump's NATO plan and the Ukraine situation

Donald Trump, the Republican candidate for the White House, has proposed a new plan for NATO. The plan aims to push European countries to invest more in defense and provide the majority of troops and weapons deployed in the continent. However, the United States would continue to guarantee nuclear protection, while reducing the rest of its military commitment.

The proposal includes the creation of a two-speed NATO. In this structure, countries that do not spend at least 2% of their GDP on security would not receive full protection from the United States. This approach could potentially lead to significant changes in the dynamics of international security and defense.

Contrary to some reports, there is no ongoing dialogue between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin regarding the conditions for achieving peace in Ukraine. This was emphasized by Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov in a press conference. He responded to a request to comment on the news of an ongoing dialogue between the parties with a firm "No, it's not true."

There have been rumors that Trump, as part of his plan to end the war in Ukraine, is negotiating with Putin about how much Ukrainian territory Moscow intends to keep under its control. However, these claims have not been confirmed and remain speculative at this point.

The Kremlin has denied that there is an ongoing dialogue between Putin and Trump about the conditions for achieving peace in Ukraine. Peskov cut short the speculation, as reported by the TASS agency, stating, "No, it's not true." This denial underscores the complexity and sensitivity of the situation in Ukraine, and the need for careful diplomacy in addressing it.
