Russia-Ukraine War / Russia is ready for Ukraine war peace talks, Trump puts pressure on both countries

Russia-Ukraine War: Russian President Vladimir Putin has agreed to peace talks to end the Russia-Ukraine conflict, but the Kremlin has laid down several conditions for the talks. According to Russian Ambassador Denis Alipov, Moscow is ready for a 'trilateral meeting' as part of efforts to establish lasting peace. He believes that the current US administration is giving better signals towards ending the conflict than its predecessors.

America's new role and Trump's pressure

The Russia-Ukraine war began in February 2022, and since then many efforts have been made to end it. US President Donald Trump has maintained pressure on Ukraine to accept the peace agreement. In this context, Russian Ambassador Alipov underlined the new role of America, saying that the US is trying to establish better relations with Russia and is discussing some conveniences towards Moscow.

Russia's position: "We are winning the war, still ready for talks"

The Russian ambassador clarified that Russia can move forward even without peace talks, because they believe that they are winning the war. Despite this, the Kremlin is ready to accept a temporary ceasefire under certain conditions. However, the situation in Europe and Ukraine is hindering this process.

Europe and Ukraine's response

So far there has been no clear consensus from Europe and Ukraine regarding Russia's conditions. Recently there was also a meeting on the issue of Europe's re-militarization, in which Russia expressed concern. Russia believes that if Europe continues military assistance, the chances of peace talks will be reduced.

Conclusion

Both Russia and the US are giving new signals regarding peace talks, but it is not clear whether Ukraine and Europe will support this initiative or not. The situation may change somewhat with the US lifting sanctions and considering military help. However, how fast this process will move forward is still uncertain.
