Why Trump-Putin talks unlikely to bring rapid end to Ukraine war
MOSCOW, AUG 7 – Trump’s latest ceasefire ultimatum to Putin expired with no agreement as Russia resists talks; Kyiv seeks involvement to avoid unfavorable territorial concessions, officials say.
- Donald Trump is expected to hold talks with Vladimir Putin soon to explore the possibility of a ceasefire in Ukraine, following a three-hour discussion between Trump’s envoy and the Russian leader in Moscow.
- This meeting arises after a series of productive but inconclusive talks and amid Trump’s growing impatience and threats of tougher sanctions on Russia.
- Kyiv insists on involvement in any ceasefire talks and fears that a Trump-Putin meeting without Ukraine might pressure territorial concessions.
