Arab Gulf - Follow-ups: U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that he does not want to waste time and only wants to end the Ukrainian war. Trump noted, after a day of meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and European leaders, that "there will be some form of security guarantees for Ukraine, but not through NATO," adding that Europe is ready to send troops to Ukrainian territory. He indicated that Russian President Vladimir Putin's intentions regarding the war will be revealed in the next few weeks, adding: "I expect a positive response from Putin, otherwise the situation will be difficult." One of the most controversial points in Trump's initiative is the idea of ​​"land swaps," which involves adjusting the borders between Russia and Ukraine in a way that satisfies both parties. According to informed sources, Putin seeks to gain geographical gains in the industrial Donbas region, in exchange for ceding less important areas. Despite ongoing efforts, the future of the initiative remains fraught with risks. Experts believe that Trump's strategy may collapse under the weight of its internal contradictions. The U.S. President seeks to satisfy Moscow and Kyiv at the same time, while making vague promises to his European allies, without clarifying how to achieve a lasting balance.
