In a recent high-profile summit convened at former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate,prominent European leaders gathered with the aim of advancing peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine. Despite the intense diplomatic engagement, no definitive agreement has emerged, highlighting the persistent complexities and entrenched disagreements that continue to impede progress.The international community remains attentive, recognizing that the outcomes of these discussions could profoundly influence the geopolitical stability of Eastern Europe.
