Washington – Budapest: Is the end of the war approaching and what game are Trump and Putin playing?

Russian media have so far completely ignored Trump's statement about the front line. Such unanimity is only possible at the direct behest of the Kremlin. In such cases, the Kremlin has three tactics: it gives its own interpretation; allows the media to drown a story it does not like in the free generation of ideas and speculation, and then chooses three or four ideas that are most popular, so that everyone can think of something for themselves; or simply turns on the silence mode.

As of now, we have a silence mode.

It's hard to say what this silence is about. It may mean preparing to agree to this formula, and at the same time preparing to say "no" in Budapest.
