Putin–Trump Summit Puts Pressure on Ukraine to Strike Deal, Sends Warning to Europe, Expert Says
Following the Russia–US summit, mounting pressure is on President Zelensky to "make a deal soon," Paul Goncharoff, financial analyst and general director of Goncharoff LLC, told Sputnik.
According to him, the outcome now depends on three key factors:
Developments on the battlefield, including possible new Russian gains and the risk of Ukraine’s frontlines collapsing;
Zelensky’s political standing, which appears increasingly fragile at home;
Europe’s approach — whether it chooses to step in and prolong the fighting.
Goncharoff argued that the most plausible outcome is a Russian victory that secures Donbass, establishes a buffer zone, and paves the way for long-delayed elections in Ukraine.
