Is the agreement with Russia financially beneficial for Ukraine? Donald Trump is supposed to convince us of that.
Trump's skepticism towards Zelensky is not new, but his push for a deal is stronger now. He argues that Ukraine should consider compromising on occupied territories for financial benefits. The U.S. aims to convey this message during talks in Oslo, represented by Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. Following Oslo, they plan to meet Putin in St. Petersburg to discuss the release of an American hostage, Stephen Hubbard, detained in Russia. Both Trump and Putin seek to normalize relations, with potential meetings involving Xi Jinping in the future. Trump's team believes the war is at a turning point, urging Zelensky to show willingness to negotiate, even at the cost of territory.
