One Week After Trump-Putin Meeting, Ukraine Peace Efforts Stall
Rokna Political Desk: A week after President Trump’s high-profile meeting with Vladimir Putin in Alaska, prospects for a ceasefire in Ukraine remain bleak, with ongoing Russian attacks and stalled negotiations underscoring the difficulty of achieving peace.
According to Roknam, a week after President Trump met with Vladimir Putin in Alaska, Russia’s missile strikes on an American-owned factory in western Ukraine underscore that peace efforts remain stalled.
Despite Trump’s diplomatic gestures and photo opportunities with European leaders, the war’s realities are unchanged: Russia continues targeting civilians and blocking diplomacy, while Putin shows no willingness to end the conflict.
Ukrainian President Zelensky seeks to accommodate Trump but cannot accept a “poisoned peace” that would cede strategic territory in Donbas. European leaders remain limited in their ability to guarantee post-war security without U.S. support, while Trump’s attention to detail and reliance on Putin raise doubts about the feasibility of achieving lasting peace.
Although Trump has energized the process and signaled willingness to back European security guarantees for Ukraine, significant obstacles persist, and no summit or peace deal appears imminent.
