Two weeks ago, Donald Trump made the rounds to speak with all parties involved in the war between Russia and Ukraine, speaking with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and other leaders across Europe. At the time, hopes were high that a peace deal was on the way but where do talks stand at this point? Jon Decker, WOR White House correspondent, spoke with Mendte in the Morning about the meetings and the current state of peace talks.
“In the aftermath of the President meeting with President Zelenskyy in the Oval Office, meeting with those European leaders in the east room of the White House,” Decker told host Larry Mendte, “the President I think rightly so was talking about momentum in terms of a potential meeting between Putin and Zelenskyy and now that momentum has flittered away.”
Decker believes that talks are currently far away from advancing: “I don’t think there’s any momentum at all and I don’t think there’s any likelihood in the near term of a meeting between Putin and Zelenskyy.”
