Alaska Accord? Trump, Putin, and the Uncertain Path to Peace in Ukraine

In a surprising turn of events, President Donald Trump recently met with Vladimir Putin in Alaska, sparking speculation about a potential peace deal in the ongoing Ukraine conflict. The proposed agreement reportedly involves Russia controlling eastern Ukraine while the U.S. or NATO maintains a security presence in the region. However, skepticism looms as doubts arise over Putin's willingness to settle for anything less than full control of Ukraine, given the immense losses on both sides. The discussion highlights the precarious nature of the situation, with questions about the deep state's influence and the potential risks of U.S. or NATO troops on Ukrainian soil.
