Trump's Push for Peace in Ukraine
Donald Trump has initiated dialogues with both Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in an effort to bring an end to the ongoing war in Ukraine. During these calls, Trump expressed a desire for peace, claiming an agreement for their respective teams to begin negotiations immediately. However, the reaction from Ukraine has been one of disappointment, as analysts believe the U.S. has relinquished key bargaining chips, potentially undermining Ukraine's position in future negotiations.
