Putin's Threat of War Against Peace: Tension Before the Summit with Zelensky

Stern Message from Putin Ahead of Florida Summit

U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky are set to attend a critical summit in Florida this evening. This summit is being closely watched around the world. Ahead of the summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin made threatening remarks indicating that the war will continue. Putin stated that if Ukraine does not continue to seek a 'peaceful resolution' to the conflict, they would persist in achieving all objectives through military means.

Critical Disagreements in Peace Negotiations

Peace negotiations, which have been unsuccessful so far, continue to be a significant source of tension between the two sides. The main points of disagreement include Russia's demand to officially annex the entirety of Donbas region in eastern Ukraine. Additionally, the desire to take control of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant is another crucial issue escalating tensions in the negotiations. These demands are continuously rejected by Ukraine; Zelensky emphasizes that his country will never compromise on its territorial integrity.

Economic Effects of the War and Future Expectations

Putin's announcement of a threat of war could have a negative impact on international markets. Experts point out the potential effects of such developments on energy prices. In particular, it is anticipated that the prices of Oil and Natural Gas could fluctuate depending on developments in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The failure of diplomatic efforts creates a situation that unsettles the markets and generates uncertainty.
