Ukraine's Foreign Minister Says Only Trump Can End the War.

Statement from Ukraine's Foreign Minister

According to TSN.ua: Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha has stated that only former U.S. President Donald Trump possesses the capacity to halt the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine. The official Ukrainian position advocates for accelerating peace talks, which could include a potential direct meeting between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Ukraine has endured four years of full-scale war with Russia, resulting in immense human and material losses. Recent days have seen significant developments in the peace process. A second round of trilateral negotiations took place in Abu Dhabi, with a new round scheduled for Miami in a week. The first prisoner exchange since October also indicates gradual progress in these discussions.

Proposed Timeline for Peace Talks

The proposed schedule for negotiations aims to prepare a draft agreement with Russia by March, with a possible referendum in Ukraine by May. Andriy Sybiha stressed that any decision which might recognize Russian sovereignty over Crimea or Donbas would be legally invalid. The Foreign Minister's remarks underscore the critical role of the United States, and Donald Trump personally, in resolving the conflict.

High-level international meetings and U.S. involvement in the talks could significantly influence future events. The emphasis on President Trump's personal engagement highlights Ukraine's hopes for support from international partners in resolving the conflict and restoring the country's territorial integrity. This statement comes as Western allies continue to debate the level and nature of future support for Kyiv.
