Donald Trump, the day after a telephone conversation with the Russian leader, ensures that the Kremlin wants the end of the war in Ukraine. He also says that he is expecting a meeting with Vladimir Putin. According to the former head of the CNN office in Moscow, Donald Trump wants to lead peace in Ukraine, but his actions are on the hand of Vladimir Putin. “What we see are incredibly mixed signals from the American administration,” said TVN24 Bis Jill Dougherty in an interview with “Facts about the world”.
The conversation between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin regarding the war in Ukraine in recent days dominated Polish and European discussion. In addition, the speech of the US Vice President at the Munich Security Conference also paid attentionwhich stated that Russia or China is not the greatest threat to Europe, but the internal threat, which in his opinion, is abandoning certain values.
– This speech was focused on issues that are important in the United States, cultural issues. I know that Europeans are also worried about these matters, but when he began to talk about censorship, about issues related to journalism, I would think what Russia is doing with it? Russia terribly violates the rights of journalists, the law of freedom of expression. I am not quite convinced why JD Vance wanted to debate with friends, Europeans, and not to speak in this speech about how to solve the problem of war. This is a key issue now – said Jill Dougherty, former head of the CNN office in Moscow.
The American administration sends “mixed signals”
Jill Dougherty, referring to the recent activities of the American president, indicated that “Donald Trump took office, wanting to be the one who makes peace. He wants to kill the fair around the world”, and “the most important agreement concerns war in Ukraine.”
– I am not convinced at all that Trump's administration has any detailed plan to solve the problem of this war. What we see are incredibly mixed signals from the American administration. Donald Trump says one thing: I trust Putin, Putin wants to end this war. He says: no country like Russia would never allow Ukraine to become part of NATO – she said. In her opinion, American officials then speak a different language than Donald Trump, more diplomatic, and in such a way that the intentions of his administration are ultimately unclear.
The former head of the CNN office in Moscow believes that such behavior can only strengthen Putin's strategy, who sees the divisions between allies. – I think President Putin wants to win. (…) I do not think that Vladimir Putin did anything for Donald Trump, which would not be in the interest of Vladimir Putin – said the interlocutor “Facts about the world” TVN24 BIS.

No clear guarantees for Europe
As Jill Dougherty emphasized, the preservation of Donald Trump's administration “is also a warning for all of Europe.” – Europeans must realize that this administration is pressing on Putin, but also presses on Europe. They say: maybe we will not support you, maybe our army will not come, maybe you will be left for yourself. They don't say: you will be left alone, but there is such a threat. They say that it is up to Europeans to secure long -term defense – notes Jill Dougherty.
In addition, the former head of the CNN office in Moscow believes that “Modus Operandi Putin is to press”. – Press to break up as much as possible. Will not succeed? Ok, we shoot on the full side. We ask for a star from heaven. And if you fail to get this star from heaven, we'll get something. I think this is the procedure of Vladimir Putin. Americans are making concessions at this point. They go to Putin's hand, and he is happy, he uses this situation – she said.
