Former US President Donald Trump addressed the Knesset, declaring the end of the war in the Middle East, specifically the resolution of the Israel-Hamas conflict. During his speech, Palestinian deputies protested but were quickly removed. Trump stated that the peace process was achieved thanks to his mediation. He now urges Russia to end the war against Ukraine, warning President Putin to act within a limited timeframe or risk Ukraine receiving advanced Tomahawk missile systems.
President Zelensky and an official Ukrainian delegation are considering a meeting with Trump in October. Meanwhile, the Russian government is passing legislation to increase the number of reservists serving abroad due to budgetary constraints.
The rhetoric among world leaders has intensified: French President Emmanuel Macron has threatened Russia with retaliation for refusing negotiations, and Alexander Lukashenko has warned Ukraine of possible severe consequences. NATO has begun major nuclear exercises in the Netherlands to demonstrate the West’s resoluteness.
The Ukrainian delegation, including figures such as Yermak and Sveridenko, is heading to negotiations on further economic and security cooperation. At the same time, there is active fundraising to provide the Ukrainian defense forces with the necessary equipment and vehicles.
The Middle East peace agreement brings hope for a diplomatic settlement in Ukraine, but political tension remains high, with Russia maintaining military pressure and mobilizing reserves.
