Trump's Peace Deal: On August 15, US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin met in Alaska. Before this meeting, it was expected that some important decision would be taken regarding the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine. But after the talks between the two leaders, no concrete result emerged regarding the Ukraine crisis.
Trump mentioned the peace agreement
Trump said that the best way to end the Ukraine war would be to enter into a direct peace agreement, because the war cannot end by just a ceasefire. He also made it clear that Putin is not ready for a ceasefire at the moment.
Ukraine ready for three-way meeting
After the meeting, Trump had a long phone conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and NATO leaders. After this discussion, Zelensky has decided to visit the US. He said that there was a long conversation with Trump on Saturday, and Ukraine is ready for a three-way meeting, which will include Russia, Ukraine, and the US.
Zelensky supported the trilateral meeting
Zelensky wrote on the social media platform X that Ukraine is ready to make every possible effort to establish peace. We support Trump's proposed trilateral meeting between Russia, Ukraine, and the US. This meeting will provide a better opportunity to discuss the main issues between us.
Zelensky will go to America
Thus, while the Trump-Putin meeting in Alaska did not immediately lead to any major decision, the possibility of a three-party dialogue on the situation in Ukraine has raised hopes. Zelensky's visit to the US and his active participation in the talks are being seen as positive signs towards resolving the war.
