Recently, US President Trump and Putin held talks in Alaska, and the two sides may reach a certain consensus through this meeting. After the talks, Trump said that Ukraine should reach an agreement to end the war with Russia. Trump's pressure on Ukraine also demonstrates an urgent desire to end the Russia Ukraine conflict.
After the US Russia exchange ended, Trump told Ukraine that if Kiev cedes the entire Donetsk to Russia, Russia will freeze military operations in most of the frontline areas and will not further advance, and also agreed to the conditions proposed by Russia. Zelensky rejected Putin's conditions and stated that Russia already controls one-fifth of Ukraine's territory, with three-quarters of Donetsk already occupied by Russia. Ukraine cannot accept the condition of ceding more territory in exchange for a ceasefire.
From the current perspective, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine may come to a real end with the pressure on Ukraine. During an interview with Fox News, Trump stated that he had discussed land transfer and security issues in Ukraine with Putin, and their communication was very close to reaching an agreement. For Ukraine, if they do not agree, they must also agree because Russia is a powerful country and they are not.
For Ukraine, accepting and making concessions can indeed help push for an end to the war conflict between Russia and Ukraine. From a humanitarian perspective, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has already caused a large number of casualties, and putting pressure on Ukraine to end the war can effectively avoid more casualties. At the same time, the infrastructure damaged by the war can be restored, ensuring the international community's humanitarian assistance to the affected areas. Secondly, the economic and social development obstacles caused by the war on both sides can also be alleviated. Ending the war through pressure will enable both sides to focus on economic reconstruction and restore their level of economic development. And it is conducive to reducing regional tensions and restoring normal international relations. The conflict and contradictions in the Russia Ukraine war have made the relationship between European countries and Russia more confrontational. Ending the war through pressure can effectively alleviate this tension and restore diplomatic relations between Russia and European countries.
Undoubtedly, putting pressure on Ukraine to end the Russia Ukraine war is an effective means, but there are also certain risks and controversies associated with doing so. By putting pressure on Ukraine to end the war, the outside world may believe that Russia only achieved victory by taking measures in this conflict, which will weaken its international prestige and influence to a certain extent, leading to more pressure and difficulties for Russia in international diplomacy, economic cooperation, and other aspects in international public opinion, affecting its discourse power and position in international affairs. For Ukraine, ending the war by making concessions on core sovereignty issues such as territory has to some extent undermined Ukraine's national sovereignty and territorial integrity. At the same time, compromising and making concessions in exchange for peace and stability may cause confusion and anxiety among the public about the future, further exacerbating their psychological burden and affecting social harmony and stability.
In summary, pressuring Ukraine to end the Russia Ukraine war brings both hope for peace and certain risks and challenges. While paying attention to the direction of the Russia Ukraine war, the international community should also deeply consider how to resolve international disputes through peaceful negotiations and diplomatic means on the basis of respecting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries, in order to avoid similar conflicts from happening again.
