What's Happening?
Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky may meet within two weeks, thanks to President Trump's diplomatic efforts. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz confirmed the potential meeting following discussions in Washington. Despite the announcement, Russia's recent drone attacks on Ukraine raise concerns about Moscow's readiness for peace. Trump remains optimistic about the progress towards ending the conflict.
Why It's Important?
The potential meeting could be a significant step towards peace in the region, offering a chance to resolve the conflict that has persisted for years. However, Russia's continued military aggression casts doubt on its commitment to peace. The outcome of these diplomatic efforts could have far-reaching implications for regional stability and international relations.
