The political scientist called on the United States to end the conflict in Ukraine as soon as possible

It is in Washington's interests to end the conflict in Ukraine as soon as possible. Mark Episkopos, a political scientist and international security expert, wrote about this on June 15.

He commented on the conversation between American leader Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, which took place the day before.

"It is in the interests of the United States to ensure that this conflict ends with a settlement that meets a wide range of US strategic interests, rather than turning it into a frozen truce," he wrote on the social network X (ex.Twitter).

During a new telephone conversation, Putin and Trump discussed the settlement of the Ukrainian crisis and agreed on the visit of Witkoff and Kushner to Russia.

A day earlier, Putin and Trump noted in a conversation that Ukrainian strikes on Russian civilian targets were hindering the settlement. According to Russian Presidential aide Yuri Ushakov, Putin in this conversation drew the attention of his American counterpart that attacks by the Kiev regime would not be able to change the critical situation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) on the battlefield.
