I was CBS&#8217; Moscow correspondent, its diplomatic correspondent, and covered the one and only summit meeting in 1961 between President John F. Kennedy and Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev.<\/p>\n<p>I learned that a summit, without detailed preparation, can lead to a disaster. A summit soon between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin strikes me as a highly problematic gamble.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Trump has described the <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/ukraine-crisis\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">war in Ukraine<\/a><\/span> as a &#8220;bloody mess,&#8221; and promised to end it quickly. Putin would also like to end it quickly, but on <em>his<\/em> terms.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, his terms seem to overlap with Trump&#8217;s.  First, a ceasefire in place (meaning Russia keeps roughly 20% of Ukraine).\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-large\"><span class=\"img embed__content\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" alt=\"russian-occupied-ukrainian-territory.jpg \" height=\"349\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/02\/15\/19ac53d5-811f-435a-8620-085de7a96d63\/thumbnail\/620x349\/5d98ef00a86105bd2e3045485fda1910\/russian-occupied-ukrainian-territory.jpg?v=f303dc12868a012283443d8b9123e5fe 1x, https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/02\/15\/19ac53d5-811f-435a-8620-085de7a96d63\/thumbnail\/1240x698\/f58e17532c1847ff982dd1d0b9668108\/russian-occupied-ukrainian-territory.jpg?v=f303dc12868a012283443d8b9123e5fe 2x\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\"><span class=\"embed__caption\"\/><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                CBS News<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Second, Ukraine gets barred from NATO and, likely, the European Union; it becomes a &#8220;neutral&#8221; nation, aligned not with the West (which is what Ukraine wants), but with Russia.<\/p>\n<p>This deal <em>could<\/em> end the war, as Trump has promised. But Ukraine, left out in the cold, would justifiably scream &#8220;betrayal,&#8221; pointing a bloody finger at the United States, and launch on its own a desperate guerrilla war against Russia.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>In another form, then, the war would continue.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>NATO, the once-reliable bulwark against Russian aggression, would effectively be shattered, unable any longer to depend on America&#8217;s word, or its military support.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>On the other side of the world, China might be encouraged to attack Taiwan, which it has often threatened to do. Would the U.S. protect Taiwan more reliably than it did Ukraine?<\/p>\n<p> If this kind of Ukraine deal were to happen, it would send a chilling message that America has indeed changed. Remember, the United States promised the world that it would help Ukraine for &#8220;as long as it takes.&#8221;\u00a0 But a deal leaving Ukraine in a ditch would mean America&#8217;s role as a trusted, global leader would now be a thing of the past.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<br \/><strong>READ AN EXCERPT:\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/book-excerpt-a-different-russia-by-marvin-kalb\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">&#8220;A Different Russia&#8221; by Marvin Kalb<\/a><\/span><br \/><\/strong>The veteran CBS and NBC journalist writes about covering the 1963 Cold War summit between President John F.
