New developments have emerged regarding the war going on between Russia and Ukraine. US and Russian foreign ministers held a meeting in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in which it was discussed to prepare a new roadmap. The biggest thing is that Donald Trump’s entry can also be a part of this conflict resolution.
So is this war going to end now? Can a deal be finalized without involving Ukraine? Let’s know about it in detail.
Saudi Arabia Meeting: What happened there?
US foreign minister Marco Rubio and Russia’s foreign minister Sergey Lavrov attended the meeting in Riyadh. Both decided to form a diplomatic team to end the Ukraine war. This means that now both countries will form a negotiation team which will explore options for peace.
But the biggest question is why Ukraine was not included in this process. This is creating tension for Ukraine and the European Union. Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelenskyy has made it clear that he will not accept any such deal which is decided without his participation.
Will the scenario change with Donald Trump’s entry?
If Donald Trump comes back to power in the upcoming US elections, how will his foreign policy handle the Russia and Ukraine war, this is a big question. Trump has already said that if he were the president, this war would have ended long ago.
He has a good relationship with Russia and Vladimir Putin, due to which Trump’s mediation can become a big factor. Russia also considers Trump a better alternative than Biden, because Biden’s policies are pro-Ukraine.
If Trump becomes president by 2025, then this can start a new phase of conflict resolution. But will Ukraine and Europe accept this? It will be interesting to see.
Russia-Ukraine War: What are the chances of it ending?
- Start of diplomatic talks – For the first time the US and Russia have shown a common ground where they want to move towards peace.
- Ukraine’s reaction – Unless Ukraine is involved in this process, its end is difficult.
- Stance of Europe and NATO – Europe and NATO also have a strong stand that Russia cannot do a peace deal without a solid commitment.
- Impact of US elections – If Trump comes back, perhaps a favourable deal can be made for Russia.
For now, the end of the war is not in sight, but the Saudi meeting could be a first step.
Conclusion
The Russia-Ukraine war has become a major global issue even now. The meeting held in Saudi Arabia is an attempt to calm it down, but as long as Ukraine and Europe do not cooperate, it is difficult to take any final decision.
Can Trump’s entry change the game? Can the US and Russia reach an understanding? All this will become clear in the coming months.
