Dr. Marcus on the Putin-Trump meeting in Alaska

THIS INTERVIEW WAS CONDUCTED ON SUNDAY 10th OF AUGUST, 2025.

In his latest appearance on Al Mayadeen, beginning at the
00:02:48
mark, Dr. Marcus Papadopoulos assessed the imminent meeting between Putin and Trump in Alaska. Dr Marcus contended that Russia will not walk away from Ukraine with just Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporozhie, and Kherson. He added that the Russian military will advance in Ukraine beyond the east and south of the country. Dr. Marcus said that the Kremlin understands the only way to ensure that Ukraine is never admitted to NATO is to capture either all or most of the country, otherwise one day there will be NATO troops and NATO strategic missiles in Kharkov, Sumy, and Kiev. As regards the forthcoming Putin-Trump meeting, Dr. Marcus said that it is a smokescreen choreographed by the Kremlin and the White House because, in his view, a secret agreement has been reached by Trump and Putin over Ukraine.
