What Could End the War in Ukraine?
Briefly

Russia has launched one of its largest attacks on Ukraine since the invasion began in 2022, coinciding with US political tensions as Trump criticizes Putin for failing to negotiate peace. While European leaders push for a ceasefire, Russia's military progress and diminishing US aid suggest Putin may not feel compelled to compromise. Conversations with experts highlight the challenges of past negotiations and the importance of understanding the current geopolitical dynamics that influence both Trump’s and Putin’s positions on the conflict.
Trump's reluctance to increase sanctions on Russia, despite ongoing military aggression, demonstrates a complex interplay of political motivations that may hinder progress in peace negotiations.
European leaders are advocating for a ceasefire in Ukraine, emphasizing the dire need for negotiation, but Russia remains firm, refusing to even consider a brief pause in hostilities.
