Rosenberg: US diplomatic push offers little hope for imminent Ukraine peace

Recent diplomatic efforts in Norway and St. Petersburg have not significantly advanced peace prospects in Ukraine. While discussions involving Ukrainian President Zelensky and US envoy Steve Witkoff were described as constructive, Russia's President Putin remains reluctant to engage directly with Zelensky. The Kremlin has indicated a willingness to continue talks at a technical level but shows little urgency to resolve the conflict. Observers note that Putin may feel emboldened by the current geopolitical climate, including a US administration that appears more favorable towards Russia. Future meetings involving Putin, Trump, and Chinese leaders could further shape the dynamics of the situation, but immediate peace remains elusive.
