US-Russia Diplomacy on Ukraine War Intensifies Amidst Incompatible Goals
Former President Trump's envoys have engaged with Russian President Putin regarding a resolution to the Ukraine war, with both sides describing initial talks as 'positive'. However, Putin has signaled no intention of ending the conflict, viewing it as a broader effort to restore Russian influence, while the Kremlin has publicly urged Trump to halt US military aid to Ukraine. The fundamental strategic goals of the parties remain incompatible, making a near-term negotiated settlement unlikely.
