Trump seeks deal with Russia and China to end Ukraine war, analyst says
US President Donald Trump is banking on a deal with Russia and China to resolve the Ukraine conflict, according to a strategic studies expert.
US President Donald Trump is reportedly seeking a deal with Russia and China to bring an end to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, based on insights from strategic studies expert Oragh Ramadan. The Al-Auras Center for Strategic Studies director stated that Trump is relying on US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to present offers and apply pressure on Kyiv.
Ramadan explained that a draft agreement between the US and Russia will be presented again, with Trump's goal being to pressure Ukraine into accepting it. The arrival of Trump's envoys in Kyiv, according to Ramadan, sends a message of incentives and pressure to the Ukrainian government, with the intention of ending the war before the US midterm congressional elections.
The Al-Auras Center director noted that Trump recognizes a shift in the military situation, as Russia has gained the upper hand on the front lines. Putin has temporarily suspended strikes on Kyiv, leading to discussions over a potential ceasefire proposal by Ukraine along the front line, coinciding with the US envoys' arrival in the country aiming to contain the conflict.
