Will a Breakthrough Be Achieved in Ukraine Settlement? Trump’s Prediction and International Efforts
Over the past week and the upcoming two weeks, global leaders and experts are closely monitoring the potential developments in resolving the Ukrainian crisis.
During a meeting with European colleagues in Washington, U.S.
President Donald Trump made a high-profile statement: in the coming weeks, it will become clear whether the stakeholders can make significant progress toward diplomatic resolution of the conflict that has lasted for over a year.
Trump emphasized his desire for rapid advancement in peace negotiations but warned against expecting immediate results: “In a week or two, we will know whether we have broken through this standstill,” he said.
He also added that, in his view, both parties—Ukraine and Russia, including Vladimir Putin—are interested in finding a way out of the situation.
The U.S.
leader suggested discussing potential territorial exchanges based on the current front lines and sees negotiations as dynamic and intensive in the upcoming weeks.
European leaders—German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, French President Emmanuel Macron, and British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak—are actively trying to bring the topic of ceasefire back into active diplomatic negotiations.
Furthermore, the White House signals that a resolution on Ukraine’s security guarantees “will be achieved today,” according to Trump.
Prior to the summit in the Oval Office, a map of Ukraine was displayed in the meeting room, according to BBC.
