Swiss newspaper on talks in Abu Dhabi: The intricate deception of Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin

Ukrainians and Russians participated in negotiations in Abu Dhabi, but no breakthrough was expected. The talks are seen as a tactic by Putin and Trump to buy time rather than genuinely resolve the conflict. Ukraine cannot openly criticize U.S. mediation as it seeks favor from the Biden administration. Russia remains unwilling to compromise, demanding unacceptable conditions for peace. The Swiss newspaper "NZZ" argues that the peace process is a deception by Trump and Putin, with both leaders benefiting from the illusion of productive talks. The article calls on European leaders to recognize these tactics and assert their role in security discussions.
