Can Trump, Putin Seal Ukraine's Destiny ?

Although the telephone conversation between US President Donald Trump and his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, on May 19 failed to strike a deal on an immediate ceasefire on the Russia-Ukraine conflict, it has further bolstered personal bonhomie between the presidents of the two global powers. Ukraine and its European allies have an anathema to growing friendship between Trump and Putin, as this will give the upper hand to 'isolated' Russia in dealing with Ukraine and attaining greater legitimacy. Although Trump has not achieved his primary goal of declaring a truce, he was not frustrated following the two-hour-long talks.
