a breakthrough on the endgame

While the tone and pace of the US-Russia rapprochement are extraordinary, there is still a long way to go before the two sides can achieve a breakthrough on the endgame in Ukraine. Progress on this front may require Russia to budge from its maximalist stance. The pertinent questions are whether Trump and his administration have the patience to deal with the complexities of the Russia-Ukraine conflict and what they would do if their peace efforts fail. As the window of opportunity for the US-Russia détente is relatively narrow, the negotiations could pave the way for a resumption of bilateral cooperation; alternatively, they could send relations into another free-fall. สล็อต
