It is noted that the diplomat did not specify the terms of the relevant agreement, while emphasizing that in any peace agreement, each side must make concessions - territorial or economic.
You will see concessions from both sides. And that's what the president does best. He unites people. He makes them understand that the path to peace is concessions and reaching consensus. And I think you will see a very successful result here
At the same time, according to him, if Russia attacked any of the US allies in NATO, Trump "would fulfill the United States' obligations under Article 5 to defend the allies".
"We have come very, very close to signing something. The Istanbul Protocol Agreement can serve as a guide for concluding a peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia," the Trump special representative summarized.
