America is trying to end the war between Russia and Ukraine. American officials also talked to Russian officials in Saudi Arabia about this matter. According to reports, Russia has agreed to a large extent. According to Reuters report, Russia is also ready to use the assets frozen in Europe to rebuild the infrastructure in Ukraine. However, Russia has put a condition that this money will be used in that fifth part of Ukraine where the Russian army has control. Let us tell you that after the war started, Russian bank transactions in Europe were stopped and assets worth billions of dollars were frozen. Out of this, Russia has agreed on assets worth $ 300 billion.
On February 18, US and Russian officials held talks in Saudi Arabia. There is also a possibility of a meeting between President Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. After the talks between the US and Russia, it is being said that Russia can use its frozen assets for reconstruction in Ukraine. If it agrees to this, then the peace agreement will become easier.
The eastern part of Ukraine has been badly devastated in this war. Thousands of soldiers from both Russia and Ukraine have been killed here. Apart from this, lakhs of Ukrainians have fled and taken refuge in other countries. Russia’s condition for ceasefire is that Kiev should withdraw its army from the areas on which Russia has claimed. Apart from this, it should completely stop trying to join NATO. On the other hand, Ukraine wants Russia to withdraw its army from Ukrainian areas and European countries to guarantee its security. Donald Trump’s administration has described Ukraine’s condition as beyond reality.
In 2023, the G7 countries said Russia’s assets would be frozen until it agrees to pay for the damage it has done in Ukraine. Former US envoy Kurt Volker said on Friday that President Donald Trump knows Russia must be stopped to end the war with Ukraine, but he also wants Kiev to give something in return for the help Washington has given.
