Trump administration seeks negotiations to end Ukraine war

The Trump administration is seeking negotiations with Russia to end the war in Ukraine, focusing on Ukraine's mineral wealth. Trump has criticized Ukrainian President Zelensky, pushing for a deal that would allow U.S. companies access to Ukraine's resources. This approach marks a shift from previous U.S. support for Ukraine under President Biden. Trump’s strategy may involve recognizing Russian control over parts of Ukraine in exchange for security guarantees and business deals, raising concerns about Ukraine's sovereignty. In Germany, recent elections saw a rise in support for far-right and left parties, complicating coalition-building. The far-right Alternative for Germany party, critical of Ukraine support, poses challenges to NATO unity and Germany's role in European security.
