An interview with a political expert highlighted Ukraine's preparations for a possible ceasefire and upcoming elections. The president's meetings with parliamentary factions and requests for advance questions indicate strategic planning in anticipation of unexpected international agreements or political shifts. The expert noted that a ceasefire agreement could arise suddenly, similar to the sudden changes during the Soviet Union's collapse.
The expert commented that memorandums on election timing could be revised if circumstances change, and efforts to ensure parliamentary support are underway. Even the absence of a direct election financing line in the budget would not hinder the process, as external partners, particularly the EU, are expected to provide funding if needed.
Internationally, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan recently stated that after the meeting between Putin and Trump, the outlines of a possible peace deal between Russia and Ukraine have become clearer, with Turkey continuing its intermediary efforts.
The situation in Gaza was also discussed, where, despite talk of de-escalation, fighting continues and ceasefire arrangements remain a contentious issue within Israeli political leadership.
Developments in both Ukraine and the Middle East continue to evolve rapidly, underlining the significant influence of international players in conflict resolution and forthcoming political changes.
