Last week, various news outlets reported that senior officials from the Trump-Vance administration would be meeting with their Russian counterparts to discuss an end to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The negotiations are expected to take place this week in Saudi Arabia, where President Trump’s officials will attempt to broker an end to the war.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, and Middle East Special Envoy Steve Witkoff will all be present in Saudi Arabia to speak with their Russian counterparts. However, Special Envoy to Ukraine Keith Kellogg will noticeably be absent from the peace talks. Instead, he will be traveling to Ukraine to speak with Ukrainian officials on ways to end the war.
For nearly three years, the Russians have waged their full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Numerous Ukrainian cities and villages have been destroyed, and Russian forces have killed thousands of Ukrainians. The war has displaced one-fourth of Ukraine’s population, and economists predict that it will take $1 trillion to rebuild Ukraine. Simply put, the war has been devastating.
Despite this death and destruction, the Russians have shown no signs of ending the war. As a result, President Donald Trump has decided to take it upon himself to try to end the war. He has previously said that the Russian invasion has been deadly, and that he wants to stop the killing.
