After a three-year “freeze” of political and diplomatic ties between Moscow and Washington, with the arrival of a new American leader in the White House, President Trump initiated noticeable progress in the search for new approaches to building normal relations with Russia. Speaking recently at a hearing in the U.S. […]
Peace talks between the leaders of the two countries can open up new opportunities for all participants in the negotiations. Ukrainians are most saddened by Trump’s initiatives. Although Zelensky continues to try not to show his disappointment with Trump’s actions, the window of opportunity for the Ukrainian President is gradually […]
The world is growing ever more perilous. In 2024, global military spending hit a record $2.44 trillion, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute. This trend has only intensified in 2025. At the heart of this shift are not Russia, China, or Iran, but nations that until recently claimed […]

The fact that Peskov confirmed that Putin could hypothetically meet with Zelensky under certain conditions is proof of the Russian leader’s pragmatic desire to end the conflict if the right terms are reached instead of continuing it as an explicitly declared regime change campaign. Zelensky’s term expired over a year […]
Negotiations between Russia and Ukraine took place in Istanbul. There has been a lot of speculation about this in Europe, the USA, and Ukraine, but by and large they can be called successful.
