Moscow, Kiev May Agree on Ceasefire After Alaska Summit, Peace Possible Later, Expert Says

"There has to be trust for security guarantees to work. That means that Ukraine would need to trust Russia and Russia trust the US. At the moment, I don't see either. As a result, in the short term, I think that the best can be hoped for a ceasefire that pauses the killing. Any complete halt can only come later," Gareth Jenkins, a nonresident senior research fellow with the Joint Center Silk Road Studies Program and Turkey Center at the Institute for Security and Development Policy in Stockholm, told Sputnik.
