Kluge, deputy chief of Eastern Europe

Is it a “poison pill” aimed at torpedoing the entire deal? Is it Russia pushing maximalist negotiating positions, similar to what it’s done since before the start of the all-out invasion of Ukraine? Or is the Kremlin language merely more explicit in its wording? “The Russian demands are completely unproportional to what Russia is offering,” Janis Kluge, deputy chief of Eastern Europe and Eurasia division at the German Institute for International and Security Affairs in Berlin, told RFE/RL. “Moscow wants to test [the Trump administration] here. It wants to see how desperate he really is to get even a partial cease-fire done,” Kluge said. “But it is also important who will get blamed by Trump when there is no deal. Russia’s conditions are meant to turn Trump’s anger away from Moscow and toward Europe.” สล็อต เว็บตรง
