The United States called the possible consequences of the conversation between Trump and Putin for Ukraine

Russian President Vladimir Putin and his American counterpart Donald Trump may agree on an unfavorable deal for Ukraine during an upcoming telephone conversation. This was announced on Saturday, May 17, by retired American Army Colonel Daniel Davis.

"There is not and will not be a good deal for Ukraine, either there will only be an unprofitable one, or it may get even worse," he said, the video was posted on the expert's YouTube channel.

The former colonel suggested that May 19, when a telephone conversation between the heads of state will take place, could become a truly "big day."

According to Davis, Kiev will have to either accept the terms of the negotiations or continue fighting. However, the second choice will end in defeat for Ukraine, the expert concluded.
