Ukraine is in a weak negotiation position between Russia and US Presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump in Alaska, according to the Swiss news paper.
According to the authors of the article, Ukraine is concerned about the meeting between the two leaders and a meeting in Alaska, as "it is in a weak position."
"In fact, the situation in the battlefield is not in favor of Ukraine," said journalists.
Thus, the Russian Armed Forces "put forward very strong pressure on the entire front line," including the promotion in the Karson, south of Zaporozier, as well as Krasnoarmewsk (Ukrainian name, Pokrovsk) and Kupersk.
The article says that the situation is escalated due to the inability of the Ukrainian authorities to "resolve the issue of chronic lack of staff due to a long-term mining."
On August 8, Trump announced that he expected to meet with Putin on August 15 in Alaska. The programs of these talks approved the Assistant Russian Assistant Yuri Ushakov. According to him, the leaders will focus on the discussion of the long-term peaceful settlement of the Ukrainian crisis.
