Former President Trump’s attempts to broker peace in Ukraine are hitting roadblocks, following a series of meetings with Russian President Putin and Ukrainian President Zelenskyy. Despite initial optimism and Europe’s display of unity at a recent White House summit, major obstacles to a ceasefire remain. Analysts point to significant differences in terms, with Trump’s demands potentially placing Ukraine in a precarious position. As Europe rallies around a collective response, questions loom over whether Trump’s strategies will bring any meaningful progress or simply extend the conflict. With hopes for peace fading, the discussions reflect a complex geopolitical landscape where the stakes remain high for all parties involved.
