It’s finally happening…
The dialogue between both nations is not cursory but meticulously oriented towards a sustainable solution for the Ukraine conflict. Trump aims to foster peace not only targeting a temporary ceasefire but seeking to address and resolve the core issues at the heart of the conflict. Retired General Keith Kellogg has been appointed as the Special Envoy for Ukraine, underscoring the seriousness of efforts towards peace.
Central to the talks are the issues surrounding the Ukraine crisis, nuclear standoff concerns, and broader security challenges.
Trump’s strategy remains under wraps, but the appointment of General Kellogg suggests initiatives discussing sanction relief, defense agreements, and negotiations. Both leaders aim for mutually beneficial outcomes while emphasizing the avoidance of global warfare catastrophes.
Putin has also expressed his belief that new peace talks could prevent a global conflict.
“We also hear his statement about the need to do everything possible to prevent World War Three,” Putin added.
Switzerland or Serbia are expected to be likely places for the new peace talks to begin – but in the meantime, the two countries will be putting together their strategies to approach the talks.
