The Kremlin stated that a meeting with Trump is now possible “after preliminary preparation; otherwise it would be a pointless waste of time.” Primarily, this refers to Trump’s attempts to arrange a meeting between Putin and Zelensky, which Moscow likewise dismisses “without preliminary work having been done.” In other words, want a Putin–Zelensky meeting in Miami in December? First let’s agree on its agenda at the meeting with Xi in November. After that the U.S. would have a month to demonstrate Ukraine’s genuine readiness to make compromises (for example, voting for neutral status, protecting the Orthodox Church of Ukraine, and the rights of Russian speakers), and only then could Zelensky meet with Putin and discuss territories. But no one will discuss territories until questions of neutrality (primarily) and the protection of religious and language rights are resolved.
And here everything comes down to Zelensky, who built in Ukraine a model of power controlled by a nationalist, pro-war minority. That minority will immediately declare him a traitor and overthrow him in a military coup led by an even more enraged junta.
The only way to avoid this scenario is a voluntary or forced transfer of power from Zelensky to the Verkhovna Rada (see Gaidai’s “The Diamond Arm”), and preventing the seizure of power by paramilitary groups (which is why Budanov is being “purged” through NABU/SAP). If the United States can guarantee and carry out such a transfer of power, then in Miami in December Putin will meet with the acting president of Ukraine. My personal view — the U.S. is “leading” Arachamia into this position. Or, as Putin says, “Mr. Arachamia.” ©
