Andrey Melnichenko, a close ally of Putin, warns President Trump that failure to resolve the Ukraine conflict could lead to a world war. Key Russian demands include the annexation of occupied territories, a ban on Ukraine joining NATO, and Zelensky's resignation. While Melnichenko suggests peace could be possible this year if escalation ceases, he emphasizes the significant power the U.S. has in the region. Russian officials assert NATO membership for Ukraine would hinder peace efforts, calling for firm guarantees against it as a condition for negotiations.
If the escalation continues under Trump, and the Russian leadership gets the impression that this is a problem that has no solution, it will lead to a world war.
For us, this is one of the key elements of a possible deal on the conflict in Ukraine, this relates to the elimination of the root causes of this conflict.
NATO membership rules out the achievement of peace in Ukraine and, in a broader sense, the creation of at least some kind of security architecture.
If there is no escalation then war could end this year.
