No end in sight for Ukraine war at four-year mark - Yahoo
The Ukraine war, now in its fifth year, remains unresolved due to ongoing disagreements over territorial concessions and security guarantees, despite US-mediated negotiations. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy criticized Russia's tactics, while the White House expressed optimism about progress toward ending the conflict. Most experts believe the war may result in a frozen conflict, with sanctions against Russia delayed and prospects largely uncertain.
No end in sight for Ukraine war at four-year mark
Russia’s war in Ukraine enters its fifth year today, a grim milestone that brings with it little hope for peace.
US-mediated talks haven’t resolved sticking points over territorial concessions and security guarantees, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Monday that the Russians are “playing with [President Donald] Trump and playing with the entire world.”
The White House remains optimistic, though. Trump “has a humanitarian heart and wants this war settled,” a White House official told Semafor, adding that the administration “has made tremendous progress with respect to ending the war.”
But most geopolitics experts now believe the war will end in a “frozen conflict.” And Washington lawmakers keep talking about increasing penalties on Russian President Vladimir Putin, but long-rumored sanctions still haven’t materialized.
“I think this thing ends when Putin starts to run out of money,” Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., told reporters.
