What Does Putin Hope to Gain From Ukraine Talks With Trump?
The Kremlin’s most basic task right now is to keep Washington in a constructive mindset toward Russia. That in itself is already facilitating the achievement of Putin’s goals in Ukraine.
Three weeks after U.S. President Donald Trump’s inauguration, he had a much-anticipated phone call with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin. Both sides have kept a diplomatic silence over who initiated the call, but the very fact that it took place and lasted almost an hour and a half looks like a major win for the Russian leader.

The Middle Corridor: A Route Born Of The New Eurasian Geopolitics – Analysis
The Middle Corridor, also known as the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route (TITR), is quickly becoming a key trade link between Western China and Europe, bypassing both Russia’s Northern Corridor and the Suez Canal.
