USA Supports Ukrainian President's Proposal for Second Peace Summit with Russia
The USA has expressed its support for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's proposal to invite Russian representatives to a second peace conference aimed at ending the ongoing war that has plagued the region for over two years. State Department spokesman Matthew Miller affirmed that it is up to Ukraine to determine when, how, and under what conditions to engage in diplomatic negotiations. The USA stresses the need for a just peace, recognizing Ukraine as the victim in the conflict. While Zelensky aims to convene the second peace summit in November, preparatory negotiations are set to take place in Qatar, Turkey, and Canada. However, Russia's stance on negotiations remains unclear, as they seek conditions that Ukraine rejects. Meanwhile, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban suggests that a Trump presidency would prioritize swift peace talks between Ukraine and Russia, potentially reshaping diplomatic relations. Amidst these developments, the EU Commission is responding to Hungary's Ukraine policy and the use of US weapons in the war remains a contentious issue. The conflict continues to evolve, challenging global powers to navigate the complexities of international diplomacy.
