White House Sees Hope in Ukraine Peace Talks
(MENAFN) Washington now perceives genuine opportunities for achieving a peaceful resolution in Ukraine, according to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.
US President Donald Trump is advocating for negotiations between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukraine’s leader Vladimir Zelensky as the “next phase of the peace process,” Leavitt stated during a press briefing on Tuesday.
“Before President Trump’s landslide victory last November, there was no end in sight to this bloodshed,” she told reporters.
“Now, there may finally be light at the end of the tunnel and an opportunity for lasting peace.”
Leavitt noted that last week’s summit between Trump and Putin in Alaska was “very productive, and many key points were agreed to between the two leaders.”
This development, she added, “opened the doors” for the upcoming stage of negotiations.
On Monday, Trump convened a meeting with Zelensky and several European NATO leaders to deliberate on the subsequent steps in the Ukraine peace process.
In a Tuesday interview with Fox News, the US president expressed hope that Zelensky would “do what he has to do” to achieve peace with Russia. “He has to show some flexibility,” Trump emphasized.
