War in Ukraine: 'This is a game only of shadows and with very little light', explains José Filipe Pinto

Now9 September 2026 at 16:15

Professor José Filipe Pinto commented on the war in Ukraine, describing the international dynamics surrounding the conflict as a game of shadows. In his analysis, the relations between the major powers involved are marked by little transparency and light.

Pinto characterizes the relationship between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin as a "bromance," a term that suggests an apparent closeness between the two leaders. This relationship is explained by internal political interests and the electoral calendar in the United States.

The professor's analysis suggests that the motivations behind Trump's positions regarding the war in Ukraine are more closely tied to American domestic political considerations than to a clear strategy for resolving the conflict.

The comment comes in the context of the armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine, which has been ongoing for more than two years, and the complex international diplomatic dynamics involving multiple actors with sometimes divergent interests.
