Part 3/7:
On the international front, hopes for a swift resolution to the ongoing Ukraine conflict appear dim. Russia is reportedly poised to reject a 19-point ceasefire deal negotiated by representatives from the United States and Ukraine. Sources suggest Moscow might resort to disinformation tactics designed to keep President Trump engaged in ongoing negotiations and to prolong hostilities beyond Christmas.
President Donald Trump recently indicated that he is instructing U.S. officials to meet separately with Ukrainian and Russian leaders. He mentioned in a social media post: "I look forward to hopefully meeting with President Sinsky and President Putin soon, but only when the deal to end this war is final or in its final stages."
