Trump's Meeting with Putin Did Not Bring Peace: Two Scenarios for Ending the War in Ukraine

According to hvylya.net: The Ukrainian leadership views the possibility of reclaiming occupied territories as an unattainable goal. Additionally, the possible maintenance of Russian control over part of the country would create a temporary border. This would protect the rest of Ukraine from western allies.

US President Donald Trump's meeting with Russian dictator Putin in Alaska did not lead to progress in resolving the conflict in Eastern Ukraine. Two possible scenarios for ending the war are becoming increasingly apparent.

The second option involves the gradual subordination of Ukraine to Russia. Putin demands changes in military strength, restrictions on Western aid, and a new policy for the country. This could lead to a loss of democracy and Euro-integration.

Progress in resolving the war in Eastern Ukraine remains minimal after the meeting between Trump and Putin. Possible scenarios for complex peace agreements include 'partitioning' the country both with protection and subordination. Ukraine remains in a difficult situation where diplomacy plays a vital role.
