U.S. President Donald Trump has initiated negotiations aimed at ending the Ukraine conflict, marking his first official outreach to leaders in the region. His strategy, described by former envoy Kurt Volker, focuses on achieving a ceasefire, setting up deterrent measures against future Russian aggression, and increasing European support. While Trump expresses urgency to resolve the conflict before its third anniversary, there are concerns from Ukraine and Europe about possibly being excluded from negotiation outcomes, especially with U.S. officials suggesting limitations on Ukraine's territorial integrity post-war. This has raised fears about a favorable resolution for Russia.
The war in Ukraine should end quickly, according to Trump, who has initiated talks with both Putin and Zelenskiy with a three-pillar strategy.
