Washington, US: US President Donald Trump on Monday suggested that the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war could come to an end “within weeks.” He made this statement during a White House meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron to discuss possible ways to resolve the conflict.
Macron Urges Support for Ukraine
During their discussions, Macron urged Trump to continue supporting Ukraine, emphasizing that Kyiv must be included in any peace negotiations. The French President expressed concerns over Trump’s direct talks with Moscow, insisting that Ukraine should not be sidelined in the decision-making process.
US-Moscow Negotiations Raise Questions
Trump’s remarks come amid reports of US diplomatic engagement with Russia, raising speculation about potential behind-the-scenes negotiations. While Trump has previously indicated a willingness to broker peace, critics argue that excluding Ukraine from discussions could impact the war’s outcome and geopolitical stability.
Uncertain Path to Peace
Despite Trump’s optimism, experts remain skeptical about a quick resolution. With ongoing military clashes and complex international relations, the war’s future remains uncertain. Macron’s insistence on Ukraine’s involvement suggests that any peace deal could require extensive negotiations.
