The day has been hectic on the US-Russian negotiations front, leaving the peace-loving people in this world much more optimistic than yesterday.
Now that the second Donald J. Trump administration in place and beginning work at a breakneck speed on so many fronts, the prospects for a consolidation of world peace and an end to the war in Ukraine are the best they ever were.
Right now, Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin are exchanging statements in the press in a kind of diplomatic dance to advance the momentum for a first telephone talk, and eventually an in-person talk.
And now, each side has made a public statement acknowledging a fact that is important to the other side.
Trump was the first: on June 21, 2024, Trump said that Biden ‘provoked Russia’s attack’ on Ukraine by attempting to Kiev into NATO.
