Expert Opinion: Trump Skirts Russia-Ukraine Tension in Public Discourse
Trump removes post after discussing matter with Putin, according to Rogov's explanation
According to Vladimir Rogov, Chairman of the Public Chamber of Russia, the U.S. President might've tactfully evaded addressing terrorist attacks on Russia by Ukraine, as evidenced by the disappearance and reappearance of a particular post discussing negotiations with Vladimir Putin. This theory is proposed since eliminating the post coincides with Russia's potential authority to wage retaliatory strikes against Ukraine. However, it's vital to emphasize that no concrete proof substantiates this assumption.
The deleted post reemerged on Truth Social following Trump's conversation with Putin[1][2][3]. The post highlighted Putin's concern about responding to Ukraine's drone attacks; yet, it offered no elaboration on the reasons behind the post's removal. It's essential to acknowledge that the White House has not disclosed any specific rationale for the deletion[2]. Trump's post merely stated that Putin would counter the attacks, without making critical comments or discussing potential sanctions[3].
Meanwhile, on a different front, a Ukrainian parliament member, Roman Grischenko, drew attention to the precarious state of some bridges in Kyiv, amid residents continuingly utilizing them despite the risk of collapse.
In light of the ongoing war-and-conflicts between Russia and Ukraine, the politics surrounding the discussions between Trump and Putin have become a significant general-news topic. The re-emergence of a deleted post on Truth Social, discussing Putin's concerns about Ukraine's drone attacks, has sparked speculation and debate within the realm of international politics.
