Amidst global focus on the Middle East, the Russia-Ukraine war has reached a critical juncture, presenting an opportunity for President Trump to reassert his role as a peace negotiator. Recent revelations from former Ukrainian military commander General Valerii Zaluzhnyi, now Ukraine's ambassador to the UK, detail significant disagreements and alleged intimidation tactics by President Zelensky's administration during the war, including SBU raids on Zaluzhnyi's offices. These events, coupled with corruption allegations against Zelensky's aides, underscore the need for a long-delayed election in Ukraine, which requires a ceasefire and peace treaty. American envoy Steve Witkoff is reportedly close to a breakthrough, with Russia allegedly consenting to a US security guarantee for postwar Ukraine. Domestic US polling indicates strong public support for disengagement from the conflict, with a significant majority in battleground states favoring a peaceful settlement within months, aligning with Trump's "America First" policy.
