New Delhi [ India ), March 19 (ANI): Expert in geopolitics and writer Velina Tchakarova has indicated that the US government is actively working towards initiating direct talks with the Russian leadership, aiming to address issues beyond just the Ukraine conflict, encompassing a wider range of topics. strategic dialogue between the two nations.
Meanwhile, Washington is engaged in independent negotiations with both Russia and Ukraine aimed at initiating direct talks for a possible ceasefire and, consequently, a peace accord.
Over the coming three to six months, my expectation is that we will see a probable direct meeting between Ukraine and Russia facilitated by the United States, possibly held in a neutral location, perhaps somewhere in the Middle East," said Tchakarova, noting that this encounter might result in reaching an understanding regarding a truce arrangement.
Based on her evaluation, a possible truce would most likely necessitate compromises from Ukraine, since Russia’s requirements have stayed mostly constant. “Due to unaltered Russian demands, Ukraine might face pressure to concede on various political and military fronts,” she pointed out.
Nevertheless, she showed doubt regarding the possibility of this leading to a lasting peace process, stating, "If you inquire if this will lead to a direct peace process, I am uncertain about it."
In light of recent events, U.S. President Donald Trump has been aggressively working towards reducing tensions. He initiated a significant telephone discussion with Russian President Vladimir Putin aimed at achieving a brief ceasefire.
ABC News stated that the Trump administration is pushing for an urgent truce following Ukraine’s acceptance of a 30-day halt in hostilities, which would only take effect if Russia also agrees to stop fighting.
Trump has underscored the importance of swiftly reducing tensions, stating, "It's a bad situation in Russia, and it's a bad situation in Ukraine... We're going to see if we can work a peace agreement, a ceasefire and peace, and I think we'll be able to do it." (ANI)
