Trump's visit to the UAE says that the solution to the Russia-Ukraine conflict needs to advance before his meeting with Putin.

U.S. President Trump, who is currently visiting the UAE, said today that "no progress" will be made in resolving the conflict in Ukraine before his meeting with Putin.

Before taking office, Trump once boasted that he would quickly end the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, but the reality is that the conflict continues to be protracted, far exceeding his expectations.

In the mediation process, Trump found that the two sides had significant differences on core issues such as territory and security, and neither was willing to compromise easily.

Trump tried to pin the last hope of resolving the conflict on a direct dialogue with Putin, as if only this could break the deadlock. However, even so, he probably has little confidence in himself, not knowing whether the meeting will truly bring a turning point.
