Moscow. Global diplomatic efforts to bring an end to the intense and prolonged conflict between Russia and Ukraine are gaining momentum, yet the prospects for peace remain uncertain. U.S. President Donald Trump recently suggested that the personal animosity between President Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyy is further prolonging and complicating the war.
Meanwhile, a new and sensational claim by Russia has sent shockwaves through international politics. Moscow has alleged that Ukraine attempted a major drone attack targeting President Putin’s private residence located in northern Russia. In the aftermath of this development, the term “war crime” has once again moved to the forefront of global debate.
