Ukraine has always believed in peace and from the moment President Trump took office, it has fully supported his efforts to find a negotiated settlement to the conflict. However, any agreement needs to be drafted alongside Ukraine so that the country can be left in the best possible position when the conflict comes to a close.
Moscow has always been clear that it supports an end to this conflict. With support from U.S. leaders, who seem to understand Russia's security requirements, current ceasefire discussions could prove promising in reaching a resolution to the war.
