  The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has taken center stage in international relations, with various global powers vying for influence and seeking to shape the country's future. A recent conversation between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US businessman Steve Witkoff highlights the complex dynamics at play. Putin's discussion with Witkoff is seen as an attempt by Russia to gain leverage in the negotiations, particularly ahead of a meeting in Paris where senior Ukrainian officials will meet with European counterparts. The Kremlin views this gathering as an opportunity for Witkoff to brief European countries on the progress of Ukraine peace talks. The situation underscores the challenges of maintaining unity among European nations in the face of competing interests and priorities. As the international community continues to grapple with the Ukraine conflict, it remains to be seen how these dynamics will shape the negotiations and the ultimate outcome for the country.
