What was the main purpose of Zelensky¡¯s visit to the United States? what did the US-Russian head of state call? and how did Putin deal with Trump?

On the 16th, Russian President Putin had a telephone conversation with US President Trump.According to Russian Assistant President Ussakov, the call was initiated by Putin and lasted two and a half hours. The two sides discussed a lot of issues, at least 13 points, the most important of which are three: First, the Russian-Ukrainian conflict; secondly, the U.S. intention to supply Ukraine with ¡°Tax¡± cruise missiles; and thirdly, Putin¡¯s meeting with Trump.

First of all, regarding the conflict between Russia and Ukraine,Putin once again stressed in this call that ¡°Russia insists on resolving the Ukrainian crisis through political diplomacy¡±. At the same time, he also especially reminded Trump that ¡°the Russian military has fully mastered all-line strategic initiative¡±. How to look at Putin¡¯s two words? Obviously, what Putin wants to express is that in the Russian-Ukrainian peace talks, Russia is not opposed and has been prepared, but provided that the Ukrainian side promises to meet the Russian requirements before. If the Zelensky government is unwilling to negotiate peace, the United States wants to continue to help Ukraine, then Russia is not afraid, must be accompanied by the end, because now the battlefield prevails on the Russian side.

Secondly, with regard to the preparation of the United States to supply Ukraine with ¡°Taxic¡± cruise missiles, Putin reiterated that such a practice will not change the current situation on the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield and will also damage US-Russian relations.On 17 November, President Zelensky officially visited the United States and met with Trump at the White House, which was also Zelensky's third visit to the White House this year to meet with Trump. His visit to the United States was aimed primarily at two: one was to further strengthen Ukraine's air defense system in response to Russia's ongoing military operations; the other was to discuss the feasibility ofining strategic pressure on Russia using long-range weapons. The second point referred to the "Tax" cruise missiles. Because just a few days ago, Trump had publicly stated that during the 17th meeting with Zelensky, they would discuss the US supply of "Tax" cruise missiles to Ukraine.

You know, as early as last year, Zelensky asked the United States for the "Tomahawk" cruise missile, but the Biden administration at that time never relented and believed that it was "completely unfeasible." There were two reasons: first, the United States 'own stocks were limited; Second, Ukraine did not provide a "convincing explanation" on how to use this weapon to turn the war.

Nowadays, the Trump administration has publicly stated its intention to provide Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine. This is obviously sending an important signal to the outside world that the U.S. government's position on the Tomahawk issue has undergone a huge change. This is undoubtedly good news for Zelensky, but it is a huge threat to Russia, because the maximum range of the Tomahawk cruise missile exceeds 2000 kilometers. From the theoretical combat range, this is enough to cover the Russian capital Moscow. Under such circumstances, it is obviously necessary for Putin to express Russia's attitude and let Trump clearly realize that the United States 'provision of Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine will not only fail to alleviate tensions between Russia and Ukraine, but will also further promote the escalation of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, which will directly cause great harm to Russia-US relations and the prospects for a peaceful resolution of the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

Finally, on the occasion of the meeting between the US and Russian leaders, Trump proposed to meet again with Putin in Budapest, Hungary, and Putin expressed his support.As for the details, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov and U.S. Secretary of State Rubio will have a telephone conversation in the coming days. Trump believes that he may meet with Putin in the next two weeks. It is not hard to see that Trump is still looking forward to meeting with Putin. In addition, Trump's response to Putin's emphasis on the Tomahawk cruise missile is also very intriguing. He said that the United States also needs the Tomahawk missile. This seems to imply that the United States may not provide Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine. If this is the case, it cannot be ruled out that the US-Ukraine talks may change.

In other words, Putin seems to have dealt with Trump with just one phone call. After all, one of Trump's main purposes in changing his stance on the Russia-Ukraine conflict and posing as providing long-range weapons to Ukraine is to force the Putin government to come to the negotiating table. Now Putin has made it clear during the phone call that Russia does not oppose peace talks and insists on resolving the Russia-Ukraine conflict through political and diplomatic channels. In Trump's view, this is a form of "weakness", and Putin also agreed to his proposed meeting location. In this case, it is not impossible for Trump to quit when he is good.
