Part 5/8:
In recent international news, the diplomatic landscape surrounding Russia and Ukraine has taken another turn. Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky was excluded from upcoming peace talks between Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. The White House explained that the decision was because the talks were initiated at Putin’s request, thereby excluding Zelensky.
This move has raised questions about whether it will impact ongoing efforts to resolve the Ukraine conflict. Some analysts view Zelensky’s absence as a missed opportunity for direct diplomacy; others see it as a strategic move by Russia and the US to gauge Russia’s sincerity in seeking peace.
