Possibility of peace in Ukraine

According to U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, organizing a meeting between Presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin is essential for achieving peace in Ukraine. Trump stated in his interview with Fox News that he has good relations with Putin and believes that a quick end to the war in Ukraine is possible through direct negotiations with him.

Presidents of Ukraine, France, Germany, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, and the head of the Polish government also discussed a possible meeting in Istanbul, where Ukraine is ready to take swift steps to achieve peace. The Ukrainian and Russian delegations signed a ceasefire agreement and are preparing a meeting at the leadership level, which may take place soon.
