Following an overnight assault by Russian forces on Ukrainian territory, tensions between the two nations have reached a critical juncture. On the heels of this attack, which occurred hours after President Donald Trump spoke with Vladimir Putin about potential ceasefire negotiations, Fox News correspondent Alex Hogan and U.S. Army veteran Doug Truax delved into the implications of the escalating conflict. Truax, who served as a captain in the Army, stated that Ukraine must take the lead in finding a way to end the hostilities. He underscored the responsibility of the Ukrainian government to navigate the complex political and military landscape, suggesting that external involvement should be minimal. Hogan, who has covered the conflict extensively, noted the increasing likelihood of further military actions and the potential for a prolonged stalemate if no swift resolution is reached.
