Is Ukraine Facing Its Moment of Truth_

Is Ukraine finally on the verge of peace or facing a moment of danger? Following the recent Trump-Putin summit in Alaska and President Zelensky’s visit to Washington alongside senior European leaders, efforts to end the Ukraine war have reached a critical moment. But the stakes could not be higher. While Trump now pushes for a formal peace treaty, Ukraine appears to favour a permanent ceasefire that halts the fighting without surrendering sovereignty over Crimea and eastern territories. At issue are not just borders, but the foundations of international law, NATO security guarantees, sanctions on Russia, the return of prisoners of war, and even the fate of thousands of abducted Ukrainian children. Each element makes the search for peace more complex, raising fears that Trump may pressure Ukraine into an unjust deal that could reshape global security.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has already killed or injured over a million people, displaced millions more, and marked the gravest challenge to Europe’s security in 80 years. Any agreement now will define not only Ukraine’s future, but also the credibility of NATO, the strength of Western alliances, and the stability of the international order. Will Trump secure peace—or force Ukraine and Europe into an impossible choice?
