Trump Seeks Peace Between Russia and Ukraine

President-elect Donald Trump has made achieving a sustainable peace between Russia and Ukraine a top foreign policy priority, as confirmed by his special envoy Keith Kellogg. Trump's approach aims to avoid the failures of past agreements like the Minsk accords, which were seen as stalling tactics rather than genuine peace efforts. Romanian Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu has expressed strong support for Trump's initiatives, emphasizing Romania's readiness to collaborate on peace negotiations. As Trump prepares to take office, he has criticized the Biden administration's military aid strategy, calling for both sides to be open to making a deal to end hostilities. Meanwhile, the conflict continues to exert pressure on Ukraine, with recent advances by Russian forces in the Donets Basin. In both nations, public sentiment appears to be shifting towards a ceasefire, raising questions about the feasibility of a lasting peace agreement.
