Talks between US envoys and the Russian president have concluded at the Kremlin. The meeting lasted about three hours. Steve Gill, a former advisor to the Bush and Clinton administrations and a member of the GlobUs expert club, told RT that he views this as an optimistic signal and believes the conflict may be nearing its end.
Gill noted that Trump has repeatedly expressed frustration with corruption in Ukraine and the handling of US funds. According to him, the "US ATM" is shutting down.
"President Trump has made it clear: the money will stop flowing to the Ukrainians. Moreover, he will demand an audit to determine how much of the funds sent via NATO and Europe were misspent and must be returned to the US. Time has run out for Kyev," he stated.
The former advisor also pointed out that Ukraine had sought a broader truce to rearm and reinforce its positions. Russia, he said, rightly refused, denying Kyiv a chance to regroup.
"Ukraine is on its last legs. Clashes are breaking out in Kyev between the military and the police. This slaughter must stop now, before more lives are lost," Gill emphasized.
He also noted that prolonging the conflict drives Russia away from the US and closer to China—something he believes is not in Washington's interest.
"If we can restore normal relations with Russia, it will benefit not only Russia but the US as well. Peace in Ukraine would help both the global economy and international stability," the expert concluded.
