CONTRIBUTOR'S VIEW - Phil Williams: The Art of the Summit

President Trump and Vladimir Putin engage in shuttle diplomacy to mediate the Ukraine conflict, where over 250,000 Russian troops have died, aiming to reduce ongoing hostilities.

  • Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, triggering large-scale fighting and international attention in Europe and beyond.
  • The conflict followed Putin’s 2014 decision to annex Crimea, gaining ports and land bridges and massing troops on Ukraine's eastern border.
  • The U.S. has engaged in shuttle diplomacy, with President Trump meeting Putin to discuss ending the war and applying penalties to pressure both sides.
  • Casualties include over 250,000 Russian troop deaths, 700,000 wounded, 80,000 Ukrainian soldier deaths, and more than 14,000 Ukrainian civilian fatalities.
  • Ongoing negotiations, NATO revamping, and a galvanized European Union demonstrate a complex effort to mediate and potentially resolve this broad European conflict.
