History repeats itself? Expert warns Trump-Putin peace talks mirror chilling echoes of Hitler and Mussolini's 1938 land grab in Czechoslovakia; Russia taunts and teases Zelensky, calls him a 'cornered rat'

A historian has warned that the haunting memories from the World War era is coming back with the ongoing Trump-Putin peace talk initiation regarding the ongoing Ukraine war scenario. According to a Mirror US report, the recent situation brings back to mind the chilling echoes of Hitler and Mussolini's 1938 land grab in Czechoslovakia.

Ukraine-Russia conflict bringing back World War's haunting memories?

At that time dictators Hitler and Mussolini signed away territory which the United Kingdom and France agreed to, in a similar manner that Russia and the US began discussing about negotiations locking out European leaders and Ukraine from the loop. There are increasing concerns and fierce criticisms from across the world, especially from European leaders after Donald Trump announced that the UK and Europe would not play a part in any negotiations for the coming days.

US and Russia leaders had some long talks during a recent Riyadh gathering, and this majorly irked Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who bashed the idea of Ukraine being kept out of these talks. Professor Anthony Glees, an expert in European affairs and security, is reminding the world about history repeating itself by comparing the ongoing situation with instances of Hitler's dictatorship. The way lands of Chechoslovakia were signed away back then, could be a similar thing that could be happening with Ukraine, as per the historian.
