Trump-Putin Summit: Will Ukraine Proxy War Finally End? w/ Glenn Diesen

Glenn Diesen, Professor at the University of South-Eastern Norway and author of The Ukraine War and the Eurasian World Order, discusses the upcoming Trump-Putin talks on Ukraine in Alaska – a meeting Ukrainian President Zelensky was not invited to.

Trump recently acknowledged NATO’s role in starting the proxy war, and Diesen says this “reflects the power struggle within the US and the political West itself.”

Will Trump’s admission of the roots of the proxy war impact peace negotiations after three years of a war that’s killed over a million people?

Prof. @Glenn_Diesen says it shows the true nature of the proxy war, “It’s more accurate to define it as a conflict between NATO and Russia being played out in Ukraine.”
