The talks, which took place in Istanbul, Turkey, are the latest in ongoing efforts by the two neighboring nations and the Trump administration to bring an end to a war that has cost tens of thousands of lives and billions of dollars. In an interview with Fox’s Maria Bartiromo, Victoria Coates, vice president of the Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy at The Heritage Foundation, said that “the Ukrainian operation in its sophistication and surprise nature is an important step for Ukraine to gain leverage of the peace talks. Bartiromo asked how the territorial dispute would ultimately be settled between the two nations, to which Coates replied, “The key for the Trump administration is to make sure Putin and Russia are deterred, and they take whatever it is that they could get out of this deal, and they don’t do it again, and they don’t threaten the NATO member that would involve the United States.”
