A U.S. official said on the 21st that U.S. President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin have no plans to hold a meeting in the near future.Why did the United States cool down the meeting at this timeWill the US-Russian leaders also hold a meeting?Let¡¯s listen to the analysis of Sun Yongzhi, director of the Russian Institute for Central Asia Research at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in Eastern Europe.

Sun Zhuangzhi, director of the Russian Institute of Eastern Europe and Central Asia, China Academy of Social Sciences:If the US and Russian heads were to meet, this time the US should still hope to some results, not like the Alaska meeting, in the end the US has no harvest.The U.S. proposal has not been approved by Ukraine nor fully supported by RussiaSo even with such a conversation, it is difficult to fundamentally resolve the conflict.

Sun Zhuangzhi, director of the Russian Institute of Eastern Europe and Central Asia, China Academy of Social Sciences:It can't be completely said that the Russian-US heads of state meeting has been cancelled now, and it will be difficult to hold it again in the future. Maybe the two sides will continue to discuss some details. I think from the current point of view, the US's request may be relatively simple. It may require more. For example, Russia and Ukraine are now on the contact line, and this can be used as a basis to achieve a ceasefire.No more new military actionThe American goal has been achieved.

Sun Zhuangzhi, director of the Russian Institute of Eastern Europe and Central Asia, China Academy of Social Sciences:But Russia has added some conditions, such as the promise of Ukraine not to join NATO, and the United States will also lift some of the sanctions against Russia, only so that the Russian side can accept such a proposal from the United States.

Sun Zhuangzhi, director of the Russian Institute of Eastern Europe and Central Asia, China Academy of Social Sciences:So now the differences between the two sides are still very big.The US needs to see an immediate effect.It would be good for Trump to build an international image.But Russia is more inclined to solve practical problems¡£
