U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham expressed the opinion that the war in Ukraine could end by Christmas, provided that a trilateral meeting takes place between the presidents of the USA, Ukraine, and Russia. According to him, without negotiations, the USA could increase pressure on Russia and other countries.
Graham emphasized that if such a meeting takes place, he must be cautiously optimistic about the conflict ending by the holidays. In another case, he believes that President Trump could provoke serious consequences for Putin and countries that continue to buy Russian oil and gas.
