In a significant development, Russian President Putin and Ukrainian President Zelenskyy have agreed to a partial ceasefire proposed by the United States, halting attacks on energy infrastructures for a 30-day period. However, both sides continue to engage in military strikes, raising questions about the feasibility of a lasting peace. The discussion with former U.S. Ambassador John Herbst and Dmitri Trenin highlights how U.S. foreign policy has evolved post-Trump, shaping the current dynamics of the conflict and underscoring the complexities of achieving sustainable resolutions amid entrenched hostilities.
The recent agreement for a partial ceasefire signifies a momentary respite in hostilities, yet ongoing strikes highlight the fragility of this peace effort.
Both President Putin and President Zelenskyy have shown a willingness to compromise, but achieving lasting peace remains a complex challenge influenced by historical tensions.
Former Ambassador Herbst emphasized that current U.S. foreign policy has shifted under the Biden administration, which could redefine American influence in the region.
Trenin pointed out that despite the ceasefire, the underlying issues between Ukraine and Russia extend far beyond military engagement, necessitating diplomatic solutions.
