U.S President Donald Trump, says Moscow and Kyiv are closer to a peace deal and talks are in the final stages. Trump revealed this following his meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. However, we do understand that the territorial issue remains the most difficult one to deal with as Russia wants Ukrainian forces to withdraw completely from the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine, a demand that would mean ceding some territory held by Ukrainian forces.
