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

Stern Message from Putin Before Florida Summit

US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will participate in a critical summit in Florida this evening. The summit is being closely monitored worldwide. Prior to the event, Russian President Vladimir Putin made threatening statements regarding the continuation of the war. Putin stated that if Ukraine continues to seek a 'peaceful solution' to the conflict, they will pursue all their goals through military means.

Critical Disputes in Peace Negotiations

The peace negotiations, which have so far ended in failure, continue to be a significant source of tension between the two sides. Among the main points of disagreement is Russia's demand to formally annex the entirety of the Donbas region in eastern Ukraine. Additionally, the desire to seize control of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant is another important issue that has escalated 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 announced 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, prices for Oil and Natural Gas are expected to fluctuate depending on developments in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The lack of results from diplomatic efforts presents a situation that worries and creates uncertainty in the markets.
