Trump Shifts Peace Talks Stance Ahead of Potential Meeting with Putin
POLAND, AUG 7 – Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk suggests a possible freeze in the Ukraine conflict amid diplomatic talks involving Trump and Putin, with Ukraine cautiously optimistic, officials said.
- President Donald Trump signalled a policy shift, wavering on his deadline and later backtracked, saying `in jest` he made the promise about a Putin-Zelenskyy meeting.
- Amid the prolonged war, Western allies say Russia is engaged in an imperial-style land grab, with Russian troops seizing territory amid heavy losses.
- Coordinating with European allies, Mr Tusk noted signals that a freeze may be closer, and Zelenskyy emphasized `Ukraine, Poland, and other European nations alike need strong foundations for their security and independence`.
- Turning to smaller conflicts, Trump has focused on diversions from Ukraine and Gaza, using trade opportunities as leverage, with no mention of hosting Armenian and Azerbaijani leaders.
- Amid stalled peace efforts, Trump claimed he could end the Ukraine war, now more than 100 days past his own deadline, and backtracked on a Putin-Zelenskyy meeting.
