U.S. President Donald Trump has entered the global discussion on the Russia-Ukraine war.
He called for a ceasefire that would freeze the current battle lines. Under his proposal, Russia would keep control of the large areas of eastern Ukraine it already occupies.
Trump issued the call at a tense moment in the conflict. The war has lasted for years. Thousands have been killed and millions have been displaced. Many countries have condemned the violence and appealed for a halt to the fighting.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy rejected Trump’s idea. He has vowed to restore Ukraine’s sovereignty. He insists that Russian forces must withdraw from occupied territory. Ukraine continues to seek strong backing from Western allies to pressure Moscow to pull out.
Western allies remain divided. Some support a tougher stance against Moscow, while others urge diplomacy to prevent the war from widening further.
Clashes continue in eastern Ukraine despite diplomatic efforts. Any ceasefire would require strict monitoring and coordination. Analysts say the stakes are high for regional security and international law.
The world is watching for what comes next. The coming weeks may shape the future of the war. Meanwhile, civilians continue to suffer, underscoring the urgent need for a durable and just solution.
