Eceme’s military science professor Sandro Teixeira Moita offered a insightful analysis of recent negotiations between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin about the war in Ukraine.
During his participation in the WW program, Moita evoked a classic concept of military strategy to contextualize the current situation.
“War is the continuation of politics by other means,” said the expert, citing the thinking of Prussian strategist Carl von Clausewitz. This maxim, according to Moita, applies perfectly to and the ongoing diplomatic maneuvers.
Russian strategy and negotiations
According to the teacher, he is adopting a calculated approach: “Russians will stretch Trump’s goodwill rope to the fullest and will try to use Ukraine as a bargain.”
This tactic, explains Moita, is part of a broader strategy that aims to normalize relations with the United States and potentially relieve the economic sanctions imposed on the country.
The expert pointed out that both the White House and Kremlin statement mentioned discussions about the stabilization of the Middle East. Particularly interesting was the mention of Russian agreement that Iran should not become a nuclear power that can threaten Israel.
Broader geopolitical implications
Moita suggests that conflict in Ukraine may be being used as part of a broader geopolitical negotiation. “Perhaps Ukraine is part of a great geopolitical negotiation in which,” he said.
The teacher also stressed the economic importance of these negotiations for Russia. According to him, the survey of sanctions would be “essential to reducing the impact on its economy that is overheated in 2025”.
This observation suggests that Russian motivations go beyond immediate territorial issues, covering long -term economic considerations.
Moita’s analysis offers a complex view of ongoing negotiations, highlighting how military conflicts and diplomacy intertwine in the search for strategic advantages in the international scenario.
