US and Russia hail detente as path to rapid ending of Ukraine conflict
The Financial Times says the negotiations between Russia and the US regarding an end to the Ukraine conflict is an “extraordinary turn of events in a matter of days.” The paper says the sight of Russian and US flags flying next to each other was “almost unthinkable even a few weeks ago.”
Ukraine and the EU states are fearing that US President Donald Trump will settle the conflict by agreeing to Moscow’s terms, according to the FT. The fears come after the US said Ukraine’s ambitions to join NATO and to reclaim land taken by Russia during the three-year war was “unrealistic.”
