The Art of Negotiation Can Trump Bring an End to the War in Ukraine?

As the world watches the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, one question remains on everyone's mind can Donald Trump bring an end to the war through his diplomatic efforts? In this blog post, we'll delve into the complexities of negotiation and explore whether Trump's approach will yield a lasting peace.

Previous Peace Talks A Roadmap for Future Negotiations

In early 2023, the Kremlin proposed a draft peace agreement that Russia and Ukraine negotiated in Istanbul. However, Kyiv rejected it due to its unfavorable terms. The proposal demanded Ukraine's neutrality, stipulated NATO deny it membership, put limits on Kyiv's armed forces, and delayed talks on the status of four Russian-occupied regions that Moscow later annexed illegally.

Putin's Strategy Negotiation as a Tool for Manipulation

Russian experts point out that Putin sees negotiations only as a means to achieve his own objectives. This means Putin is likely to welcome any meeting with Trump, since it promotes Russia as a global force and plays well domestically, but he will offer little in return.

What Trump Can and Can't Do

Trump has threatened Russia with more tariffs, sanctions, and oil price cuts. However, there is no economic wonder weapon that can end the war. The Kremlin is brushing off these threats, likely because the West already has heavily sanctioned Russia.

Trump also cannot guarantee Ukraine would never join NATO, nor can he lift all Western sanctions, easily force Europe to resume importing Russian energy, or get the International Criminal Court to rescind its war crimes arrest warrant for Putin.

The Road Ahead Can Trump's Allies Put Pressure on Putin?

Trump could pressure Russia by propping up the U.S. oil industry with subsidies and lifting the 10% trade tariffs imposed on China in exchange for Beijing limiting economic ties with Moscow, which could leave it truly isolated. Europe also could underscore its commitment to Kyiv – and curry favor with Trump – by buying U.S. military equipment to give to Ukraine.

The 'Big Question'

Lukyanov suggested that Trump's allies often seem afraid of him and crumble under his threats. The big question, he said, is what will happen when Putin won't.

Conclusion The Art of Negotiation in the Age of Trump

As we navigate the complexities of international diplomacy, it's essential to recognize that negotiation is an art that requires patience, persistence, and a deep understanding of the parties involved. While Trump's approach may yield short-term gains, it's crucial to remember that lasting peace can only be achieved through a comprehensive and mutually beneficial agreement.
