Trump‘s Peace Promises: Veteran Expert Predicts Ukraine-Russia Deal by Easter
During his presidential campaign, Republican Donald Trump repeatedly vowed to swiftly end the Russia-Ukraine conflict, considering its resolution a top foreign policy priority. As the conflict persists, hope for a swift resolution remains, with a veteran expert predicting a possible Ukraine-Russia peace deal by Easter.
Robert Clark, a researcher at the Yorktown Institute, shared his optimism in an interview with Sky News. He believes that a Ukraine-Russia agreement, brokered by the US, could be signed as early as Easter 2025 – Monday, April 20. "I think the American side will definitely entertain some kind of agreement by Easter," Clark stated.
Clark emphasizes that the success of such a venture is dependent on the willingness of both Kyiv and Moscow to compromise. "It all depends on what Putin is willing to give up, and unfortunately, also on how much Zelensky is willing to give up," he said. Despite the challenges, Clark maintains that a deal is feasible, albeit "incredibly difficult" for Ukraine.
Trump, who previously pledged to prioritize ending the conflict, appointed retired US general Keith Kellogg as his special envoy to mediate the Russia-Ukraine dispute. Kellogg’s visit to Kyiv, initially scheduled for early January, has been postponed until Trump’s inauguration on January 20.
