Both Trump and Putin seem to want peace, which could lead to an end to the war in Ukraine if they can find common ground.

Zelensky deserves respect for unifying Ukraine and galvanizing support during the war, but whether he can negotiate peace remains to be seen, especially given the suffering his people have endured.

We are actively discussing how to rebuild Ukraine once the war ends, emphasizing our commitment to resist and support our country.

America can exert significant pressure on Ukraine and Putin, but it's much easier to pressure Zelensky, complicating the peace process.

A potential peace deal may involve Ukraine ceding some territory in the east while ensuring they re-arm during any subsequent peace period. The ease with which non-Ukrainians discuss the idea of Ukraine ceding territory is concerning, as these areas contain many Ukrainian citizens who do not wish to live under Putin's rule.

I prioritize my country's interests in negotiations, advocating for India in a positive manner that does not offend others.

I believe in a world where we can resolve conflicts without resorting to war, which is why I value democracies.

In my visits to Ukraine, I admired the troops defending their country, homes, and families, which is often lost in the political and media noise.

In negotiations, the temptation to push for victory can prevent peace talks, as seen in Ukraine's missed opportunities for ceasefires during moments of military strength in 2022.
