Why Trump-Putin talks unlikely to bring rapid end to Ukraine war

The article suggests that a rapid end to the Ukraine war is unlikely, even with the potential involvement of former U.S. President Donald Trump in negotiations with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Despite Trump's past cordial relationship with Putin, Moscow's conditions for a ceasefire, such as the recognition of Russia's annexation of Crimea and the independence of pro-Russian separatist regions, make a swift resolution to the conflict challenging to achieve. The article highlights that the war in Ukraine has been ongoing for over a year, with no clear path to a negotiated settlement. Both Russia and Ukraine have maintained firm positions, making concessions difficult. The article cautions that any talks between Trump and Putin would need to address these fundamental disagreements, which have so far proved to be significant obstacles to a peaceful resolution.
