U.S. President Donald Trump announced plans to speak with Russian leader Vladimir Putin on Tuesday about ending the conflict in Ukraine. During his flight from Florida to Washington, Trump remarked, "We're doing pretty well, I think, with Russia," highlighting the progress made over the weekend.
In the upcoming call, Trump aims to secure Putin's support for a 30-day ceasefire proposal recently accepted by Ukraine. Key topics on the agenda include territorial boundaries and power plants, signaling the complex challenges involved in redrawing Ukraine’s map.
Researcher Zhao Junjie from the Institute of European Studies pointed out that negotiating land exchanges is a difficult "zero-sum" game. Any territorial concession could trigger a strong public and media reaction, underscoring the high stakes of these discussions.
These talks follow a series of high-level interactions between U.S. and Russian officials, including meetings in Riyadh and Istanbul, where both sides agreed to establish new channels to foster peaceful resolutions and rebuild diplomatic relations.
For young global citizens who appreciate dynamic change and constructive dialogue, Tuesday's discussion between Trump and Putin offers a glimpse of hope for a more peaceful future. 🤝
