On-point: Will U.S.-Russia peace talks guarantee peace?

Just in time for the 3rd anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, peace talks will commence, with Washington leading the dialogue as Trump touted.

But will those peace talks guarantee peace?

Let's turn to Dr. Robert English.

Welcome.

1. Preparations are underway for a face-to-face meetup between the leaders of Washington and Moscow.

What kind of talks or even deals do you think the two sides will reach in their summit? How much progress can they make?

2. Ukraine's clearly not happy that it has no role in the peacemaking process.

When do you think Ukraine will be invited?

When Trump and Putin are done making their own bargains?

3. The U.S. is now pressuring UN member states to persuade Ukraine to withdraw the UN resolution condemning Russia.

What is Washington's strategy here?

4. Trump wants Ukraine's minerals in return for ending the war, while Ukraine is insisting on security guarantees and investments as key conditions for a final deal.

How can the two sides fine-tune and narrow their differences?

5. Trump argues Ukraine has no cards to play.

Is that so? Does Ukraine really not have anything to play?

How should Ukraine get through this unfavorable situation?

Thanks so much for joining us this morning.

We appreciate it.
