One of the main topics of the Munich Security Conference this weekend was the progress of peace negotiations in Ukraine, especially ahead of a new round of trilateral talks expected to take place this week.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the gap between the parties has narrowed. However, this means that more complex issues remain on the table.
According to Sky News, many citizens have sought clarification on the state of the talks. British media military analyst Michael Clarke spoke in a question-and-answer session and focused particularly on the role of former US President Donald Trump.
Clarke said Trump may be considering the U.S. midterm elections. According to him, if Trump reaches a deal by the end of June, even if it is not fully completed, he could present it as a political achievement by claiming to have brought peace to Ukraine.
Strategy under criticism
Clarke argued that Trump has pursued the wrong strategy in dealing with the parties. Instead of putting pressure on Ukraine, he should have taken a tougher stance on Russian President Vladimir Putin and Russia.
He stressed that a reverse approach — more support for Ukraine and greater pressure on Moscow — could have produced more effective results in the negotiations.
These assessments represent the expert's analysis and not an official position of the parties involved.
Deadlines and reliability
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Washington has given Ukraine a new deadline of June to reach a solution.
Over the past year, Trump has announced several deadlines for reaching an agreement, but they have passed without concrete results.
Clarke acknowledged that setting deadlines can be an effective tool in diplomacy. However, he warned that if deadlines are announced and not met, political credibility is damaged over time.
Negotiations continue, while it remains unclear whether current efforts will lead to a concrete agreement within the mentioned deadline./ SkyNews
