Ukraine's allies face uncertainty as Trump-led diplomacy approaches

edition.cnn.com

Germany's Chancellor Olaf Scholz recently called Russian President Vladimir Putin, breaking nearly two years of NATO leaders isolating him. This move has raised concerns among Ukraine's allies, particularly as President Zelensky expressed frustration over the potential for renewed dialogue with Russia. The Biden administration has allowed Ukraine to use long-range ATACMs missiles against Russian targets, reflecting a shift in military strategy amid growing tensions. Scholz's outreach coincides with uncertainty about future U.S. support under President-elect Donald Trump, who has promised to end the war. As peace talks seem to be on the horizon, analysts speculate that any agreement may involve freezing current front lines. However, there are doubts about Russia's sincerity in negotiations, given its history of using diplomacy to further military goals.
