💨 Abstract

Donald Trump plans to discuss ending the Ukraine conflict with the presidents of Russia and Ukraine. Key challenges include Ukraine's demand for security guarantees, which could draw the West into a future war with Russia, and Russian demands for Ukrainian neutrality, which Ukraine rejects. Russia controls about a fifth of Ukraine and insists on territorial concessions, which Ukraine is unwilling to legally recognize. Additionally, Russia wants sanctions lifted and Ukraine to agree to certain standards for minorities.
