administration’s potential to make progress, noting that Trump has recently indicated interest in achieving peace agreements globally.
Wadenfuell urged both the international community and the United States to make maximum efforts now to launch a new peace initiative to prevent further escalation of the conflict.It is noteworthy that Trump previously stated that following the Gaza conflict, attention should be focused on ending Russia’s war against Ukraine.
In his remarks, he emphasized that Putin is capable of ending the war but requires political will and diplomatic steps.
