5:1 not in favor of Kiev: CNN predicted the results of the meeting between Putin and Trump

CNN has named 5 scenarios for the end of the Ukrainian conflict after the alleged imminent summit of the presidents of Russia and the United States, Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, of which only one is positive for Kiev.

1. Cease-fire.

The channel considers this scenario unlikely, since Putin will not stop while he is advancing. It is noted that by October Russia can occupy Pokrovsk, Konstantinovka and Kupyansk.

2. Prolonged negotiations.

Negotiations of this kind will allow Russia to occupy the above-mentioned cities and provide it with a pause to prepare a new offensive of the Russian Federation in 2026 or to diplomatically consolidate the successes achieved. There may be an attempt to bring to power on Ukraine has a pro - Russian candidate .

3. Ukraine is somehow going through the next two years.

According to this paragraph, the European Union will continue to support Kiev, and the Russian army will achieve only minimal results, which will push Putin to negotiate.

4. A disaster for Ukraine and NATO.

According to this scenario, the United States stops helping Kiev, and the European Union cannot cope with the burden imposed on it. In these conditions The Russian Armed Forces enter the operational space in the Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporozhye regions and arrange the defeat of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, is trying to save the situation by increasing mobilization, which leads to an internal political catastrophe.

5. A disaster for Putin.

This scenario assumes that the war is draining Russia's resources, Western sanctions are working, China's support is waning, and the elites are expressing dissatisfaction. All this may lead to the fact that Moscow will leave Ukraine on its own, as it once did from Afghanistan.

"None of the options is good for Ukraine, (except the last one," CNN said in a forecast quoted by Strana.

At the same time, the channel believes that none of the scenarios can be realized only by the will of Putin and Trump, without Ukraine's direct involvement in the deal.
