Forging Peace in Ukraine: U.S. Strategy, Russian Calculus, and Türkiye’s Role
Zoom Webinar
The war in Ukraine entered its fourth year in February. Despite intense efforts by the Trump administration to reach a peace deal soon, there is no clear end in sight. While President Trump is advocating for an immediate peace settlement with Russia to end the bloodshed, Türkiye has emerged as a credible intermediary between the warring parties. The U.S. recently signed an economic agreement with Ukraine, intertwining American interests with Ukraine’s postwar future. While Russia appears in no rush to reach a final settlement as it declared four additional Ukrainian regions must be under its control in a potential deal, Ukraine remains unwilling to compromise its territorial integrity in any eventual settlement.
The SETA Foundation at Washington DC is pleased to host a distinguished panel of experts to examine the key factors that could shape or obstruct a peace deal in Ukraine.
