Trump: We will resolve Ukraine conflict despite complexity and leaders’ disagreements

The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has seen several high-profile meetings and discussions, with US President Donald Trump emphasizing a commitment to resolving the issue despite the complexity and disagreements among leaders. At a recent summit in Alaska, Trump met with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, discussing the possibility of a meeting between Putin and Zelensky on neutral territory [1].

Sevim Dagdelen, a foreign policy expert from Germany’s Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance - Reason and Justice, has suggested that such a meeting could be useful if there is at least minimal willingness to compromise. She emphasized the need for a neutral location in a country of the global South and warned against Zelensky insisting on maximum demands, which could hinder peace negotiations [1].

The summit also saw discussions about the prospects of holding trilateral negotiations, with Trump and Putin expressing support for direct consultations between Moscow and Kiev. However, there are concerns that the Ukrainian authorities are seeking to freeze the conflict to build up reserves and attack Russia again [2]. Additionally, the number of attacks on civilian targets in Russia has been rising, with the Russian Foreign Ministry reporting that the number of attacks has increased from 300 to 430 per day [3].

The conflict has also seen international involvement, with countries like the US, UK, and EU providing weapons to Ukraine. However, there are concerns that this involvement may escalate the conflict and make peace negotiations more difficult [1]. Meanwhile, Russia has been making efforts to repair aircraft damaged by Ukrainian attacks and has been providing textbooks and pamphlets to Ukrainian prisoners of war [4].

Despite the challenges, Trump has expressed optimism about resolving the conflict. He has emphasized the importance of security guarantees for Ukraine and has suggested that the US is prepared to work with other countries to find a solution [5]. However, there are concerns that the US may not be able to provide equivalent security guarantees to other countries as it has with Israel [6].

In conclusion, the ongoing conflict in Ukraine is complex and involves disagreements among leaders. However, there are ongoing discussions and efforts to find a resolution. The success of these efforts will depend on the willingness of all parties to compromise and find a peaceful solution.
