Trump announces great progress in the Ukraine conflict! Peace in sight?

Slowjansk, Ukraine - President Donald Trump recently spoke of a “pretty big concession” from the Kremlin, which could nourish the hope of a quick peace in the Ukraine conflict. Trump is optimistic that Vladimir Putin is willing to set the attacks on Ukraine. In the coming days, he expects important meetings that could possibly influence the course of the war. However, high-ranking US government agents announced that they could get out of the mediation efforts if no progress is made.

The Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskow expressed that Russia was ready for an armistice, provided that Ukraine does without the annexed areas of Luhansk, Donetsk, Saporischschja and Cherson. He asked the Ukrainian army to put down her weapons and withdraw to end military operations. These statements contradict the fact that Russia would be willing to freeze the front line without demanding complete control over the four regions. Krone reports that Trump expects Putin to strive for a deal, and the Ukraine also has an interest in an agreement.

Current developments in the conflict

The Ukrainian delegation negotiates Kellogg with the U.S. Sonderstanded Kellogg about an immediate fire break. However, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio expressed doubts about a rapid agreement on an armistice. In this context, it should also be noted that the pressure on Russia is increasing to react quickly to peace initiatives. Biden underlines that the United States will resume intelligence support and weapon aid for Ukraine, while Ukraine is fighting for recess and compensation for forced children from Russia. [Merkur] (https://www.merkur.de/politik/waffeßeß- attack-ukraine-news-war-russland-tutin-selenskyj-frum-zr-93692442.html) emphasizes that Trump will soon be organizing a meeting with Putin and the Ukrainian government.

The role of the international community

The international perspective on the conflict remains complex. Reactions of Russian hardliners to the suggestions for peace negotiations are mostly negative. Alexander Dugin, an influential military thinker in Russia, has skeptically commented on fire breaks, while others, like political scientists Sergej Markow, only want to accept a ceasefire on the condition of a weapon embargo against Ukraine. These divergences within the Russian elite continue to make the negotiations more difficult.

But there are also positive signals: the USA and Ukraine have proposed a 30-day ceasefire in Dschidda. The Ukrainian delegation showed gratitude towards the United States for their support and efforts. Here, too, it becomes clear that Ukraine is willing to make concessions if Russia would do this too. [FOCUS] (https://www.focus.de/politik/ukraine-krise/analysis-friedensisträrungs-das-s- ukraine-unda- and-die-and-dieusa decided_260758347.html) that negotiation teams should be named in order to negotiate permanent peace.

The situation remains tense and the view of an early solution is uncertain. While there is still hope for peace, the way there is extremely rocky and shaped by numerous challenges.
