US President Donald Trump is pushing for ceasefire talks with Russia, but top European officials attending a security conference are skeptical about Vladimir Putin’s intentions.
Russia’s actions suggest it has not changed its goals, according to Jonatan Vseviov, secretary-general of Estonia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Baiba Braže, Latvia’s foreign minister, also expressed concern that Russia wants “total domination” over Ukraine.
These officials’ comments underscore the difficulties in achieving a meaningful peace deal with Russia, despite Trump’s efforts to restart dialogue. The EU is monitoring the situation closely, as Ukraine remains a key point of contention between the two nations.
