Trump and Putin Set to Discuss Ukraine’s Future: Risks and Consequences Ahead

President Trump prepares for a pivotal phone call with Vladimir Putin, focused on territorial arrangements following years of conflict in Ukraine. The stakes are high as talks may effectively reward Russia for its aggression since 2014, particularly regarding Crimea and potentially vast Ukrainian territories. Trump’s national security adviser, Michael Waltz, suggests the talks will prioritize an end to violence, yet concerns remain about appeasing Russia. Historical parallels, such as Yalta, echo in discussions of power dynamics and national interests, signaling a reshaping of geopolitical boundaries. As the world watches, the implications stretch beyond Ukraine, touching on global stability and future conflicts. Experts warn the situation’s evolution could embolden powers like China regarding Taiwan.
