The Telegraph: Trump Has Putin Cornered And Is Confident He Will Achieve A Breakthrough

The Kremlin's position in Central Asia is weakening.

U.S. President Donald Trump's diplomatic victories have changed the geopolitical landscape and cornered Russian leader Vladimir Putin, leaving him no room for maneuver. This is according to The Telegraph columnist Rob Crilly.

Insiders note that Trump is encouraged by his success in reaching a truce between Israel and Gaza and is confident in his ability to achieve a breakthrough in the war between Ukraine and Russia.

"I think all of the peace agreements that he's been able to broker over the last few months make him more optimistic about a possible resolution to the Russia-Ukraine conflict," the administration said.

It is noted that agreements concluded in the Middle East and in close proximity to Russia have increased Washington's influence at the cost of Putin's influence.

Such as the peace agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan, which culminated in the signing of a peace accord at the White House in August, reduces dependence on routes through or controlled by Russia.

"And it puts an end to a conflict that has allowed Moscow at various times to play both sides by supplying arms and deploying peacekeepers," Crilly explains.

As Stephan Hedlund, research director of the Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies at Uppsala University, concluded: "The Kremlin's position as a hegemon in Central Asia is weakening."

The Kremlin is also seeing its allies in the Middle East weakening amid Trump's strengthening position. This applies primarily to Iran, whose position has been shaken after Hamas and Hezbollah suffered serious damage in conflicts with Israel, and the collapse of the Syrian government has all but destroyed Tehran's "Axis of Resistance."

Even Russia's attempts to find friends have turned into an embarrassing disaster. For example, the Russia-Arab World summit, whose leaders flew to Moscow on Wednesday, was supposed to demonstrate that the Kremlin is far from isolated. But it was postponed because only a handful of figures announced their participation, Crilly writes.

He emphasizes that the cumulative impact of agreements and understandings signed during the first nine months of Trump's presidency have reduced the tension and turmoil in the Middle East that the Kremlin has enjoyed for decades.

"He's backing Putin into a corner," said a source familiar with White House activities.
