Alaska witnessed an extraordinary day that resulted in significant outcomes regarding diplomatic efforts to end the Russian-Ukrainian war. The meeting between President Vladimir Putin and several discussions with European leaders, along with the lengthy phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, led to a broad consensus that the best way to stop the conflict is to move directly towards a comprehensive peace agreement, rather than settling for a temporary ceasefire that quickly collapses.
These developments were bolstered by the announcement of an expected visit by President Zelensky to Washington on Monday for a meeting at the White House with President Donald Trump, a step that observers considered a strong indicator of the imminent breakthrough in the settlement process. If these efforts succeed, a date for a meeting between Trump and Putin is expected to be set later to continue peace talks.
The expectations regarding this political movement have also cast their shadows on global markets, where optimism prevailed among investors who saw the possibility of reaching a peace agreement as a driving force towards geopolitical stability and an increase in risk appetite.
If real progress is made in these talks, the world may be on the brink of a historic turning point, not only by ending one of the fiercest wars in modern Europe but also by having a profound impact on the global economy and the future of international stability.
