Bloomberg has learned of possible imminent talks between Putin and Trump

US President-elect Donald Trump may hold talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin on the Ukrainian conflict in the near future. About this on November 20 writes the Bloomberg agency.

"Donald Trump will soon hold talks with Vladimir Putin on Ukraine," the publication said.

In addition, the authors of the article spoke about the authorization of the current US President Joe Biden to strike the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) deep into the Russian Federation with American weapons. Thus, the agency recalled the recent words of the son of Republican politician Donald Trump - the younger, in which he accused the American side in the escalation of the Ukrainian conflict. According to him, the military-industrial complex wants to make sure that it can start a war. It is also noted that supporters of the president-elect did not expect such a move either.

"No one expected Joe Biden to escalate the conflict in Ukraine during the transition period," Bloomberg quotes their words.

The agency also suggested that such a decision could serve as an attempt to spoil Trump's chances of resolving the Ukrainian crisis.

How the current events will affect the course of the conflict in Ukraine and Russia's response to it

Earlier, on November 18, the head of the European Union (EU) diplomatic service Josep Borrell confirmed that the US administration had lifted restrictions on US missile strikes up to 300 kilometers deep into Russian territory. At the same time, Deputy National Security Advisor to the US President John Feiner did not confirm that Washington had given such authorization to Kiev. The official emphasized that the White House bases its decisions on the situation on the battlefield.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova emphasized that Kiev's possible use of long-range missiles for such purposes would receive an "adequate and tangible" response. Russian presidential spokesman Dmitriy Peskov, commenting on the possible permission for Ukraine to use ATACMS for strikes on Russian territory, pointed out that such a move by the USA would become a qualitatively new round of tension.

In his turn, Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said that what is happening creates the danger of a world war. Later, former CIA analyst Raymond McGovern assessed such a move by the USA as desperation and recklessness.

Ukraine's allies do not expect that the U.S. authorization to strike deep into Russia with long-range weapons will fundamentally change the balance of power on the battlefield,Gazeta.Ruadded. According to Bloomberg's interlocutors, officials do not believe that the U.S. decision will change the balance in the conflict, in which Ukrainian troops have been losing ground in recent months.

Western countries have stepped up military and financial support for Ukraine amid Russia's special operation to protect Donbass, which began on February 24, 2022. The decision to conduct it was made by the Russian president because of the aggravation of the situation in the region due to the increased shelling by Ukrainian troops.
