Zelensky and Trump to meet as US envoy says ending war with Russia down to one issue
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is scheduled to meet with former U.S. President Donald Trump in the coming week to discuss the ongoing conflict with Russia. The meeting is set to take place in an undisclosed location on Friday, with the agenda expected to revolve around potential strategies to bring an end to the war in eastern Ukraine.
The meeting comes as U.S. Special Representative for Ukraine Negotiations, Kurt Volker, stated in a recent interview that resolving the conflict with Russia hinges on one critical issue, although he did not specify what that issue was. Volker emphasized the importance of finding a resolution to the conflict, which has been ongoing since 2014 and has resulted in thousands of deaths.
President Zelensky’s office released a statement confirming the upcoming meeting with Trump and expressed optimism about the potential for progress in ending the war. Zelensky reiterated Ukraine’s commitment to achieving peace through diplomatic means while ensuring the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the country.
On the other hand, former President Trump has not made any official statements regarding the meeting or his stance on the conflict in Ukraine. However, sources close to Trump suggest that he sees the meeting as an opportunity to weigh in on foreign policy matters and potentially influence the Biden administration’s approach to the conflict.
The meeting between Zelensky and Trump comes at a crucial time in the conflict, with ongoing ceasefire violations and heightened tensions in the region. The involvement of the U.S. and former President Trump in the peace talks could signal a new chapter in the efforts to end the war in Ukraine.
