Trump says Russia 'have the cards' in peace negotiations
The BBC reported that Trump expressed trust in Moscow's desire for an end to the Ukraine war, a sentiment echoed by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. However, this statement is somewhat at odds with the current state of affairs on the ground, where Ukrainian forces are gaining momentum against Russian-backed separatists. Meanwhile, Western leaders remain divided on how best to address the conflict.

- What implications would a peace agreement brokered by Russia have for the global balance of power, particularly with regards to NATO's role in Eastern Europe?
