💨 Abstract

Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and Volodymyr Zelensky are preparing for a high-stakes summit, but their interests diverge significantly. Trump aims to portray himself as a peace broker and secure a ceasefire in Ukraine. Putin seeks to appear reasonable and buy time for military gains. Zelensky, however, faces the toughest challenge, as any deal is likely to favor Putin, potentially involving territorial concessions and limiting Ukraine's independence.
