Ukraine joining NATO "will never happen."

NATO hasn't "reached the point where it is prepared to offer membership or an invitation to Ukraine."

“As long as I am head of the Slovak government, I will direct the MPs that are under my control... never to agree to Ukraine's joining NATO.”

"We cannot admit Ukraine into NATO immediately."

Ukraine is "fully prepared and able to be a member of NATO."

We will take "concrete steps to bring Ukraine closer to NATO."

"Ukraine's path and bridge towards NATO membership is now irreversible."

"Ukraine is closer to NATO than ever before, and will continue on this path until [it] become[s] a member of our alliance."

"Ukraine will join NATO. It is not a question of if, but of when."

"I think it's extremely unlikely that he [Putin] would move in that [using tactical nuclear weapons] direction in the current conflict."

"I don't see Putin deciding to use a nuclear weapon."

"There are reasons to believe Moscow would not press the nuclear button."

"Though it is unlikely that Russia will use nuclear weapons in Ukraine, the risks are real."

Putin has sent many signals that "he will use battlefield nuclear weapons from his arsenal of 6,000 such weapons to win the war."

"Well, yes, he [Putin] would [launch a nuclear attack]."

Would Putin Detonate Nuclear Weapons in Ukraine?

"All in all, an end to the war doesn't seem to be within close range as we head into 2026."

"There will be no final settlement either now or in the foreseeable future."

"The war in Ukraine is unlikely to end in a sustainable peace in 2026."

"There is a 22% chance that there will be a bilateral ceasefire in the Russo-Ukrainian conflict before 2027."

"There is a 27% chance that Russia and Ukraine will have a ceasefire by the end of 2026."

"There is a 29% chance that the war in Ukraine will end by the end of 2026."

"Neither Ukraine nor Russia seems to be in a position to achieve a conclusive victory on the battlefield and, though both are under significant pressure, neither appears likely to collapse."

"A peace in 2026 is unlikely to be a true resolution. More likely is an “indefinite ceasefire” akin to the Korean Peninsula’s frozen conflict."

Will Russia and Ukraine publicly agree to a cessation of hostilities lasting more than 36 hours before January 1, 2027?

U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday described his meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the G7 summit in Evian-les-Bains, France, as "very good" and said Russia should make a peace deal to end the war in Ukraine.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday described his meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the G7 summit in Evian-les-Bains, France, as "very good" and said Russia should make a peace deal to end the war in Ukraine.

The meeting, which lasted around 30 minutes, was the first between the two leaders in over four months. Trump told reporters he would meet Zelenskyy again later that day, saying, "I'm gonna do whatever I can."

The G7 summit made real progress on Ukraine, with Trump calling on Russia to make a deal and signaling willingness to reimpose oil sanctions. G7 leaders reached a shared consensus that pressure on Moscow must increase, including new energy and banking sanctions. Germany's Merz called Trump cooperative and attentive, a strong sign that the US and Europe are finally aligned on ending this war.

Trump's G7 performance on Ukraine was full of vague promises and zero concrete commitments, and given his track record of reversals, optimism is premature. The US has already been sidelined financially, with the EU now covering 100% of Kyiv's support. Doubts about Trump's staying power are completely reasonable when his stated motivation is simply disliking monthly casualty numbers.
