Washington, D.C. — President Donald Trump has indicated a strong likelihood of meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to discuss the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
The White House confirmed Wednesday that the Russian government proposed a meeting between Trump and Putin.
Trump’s administration has emphasized the importance of negotiating a ceasefire agreement with Ukraine, and the potential meeting could play a crucial role in advancing peace efforts.
White House officials stressed the value of direct dialogue in addressing the conflict and fostering regional stability.
Although details of the proposed meetings have not been finalized, the discussions would aim to reduce hostilities and work toward a lasting peace agreement.
The conflict, which has persisted since Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014, remains a significant issue on the global stage.
Putin’s willingness to engage in talks could also reflect Russia’s interest in resolving the conflict and lifting sanctions imposed by Western nations. Zelenskyy, committed to negotiating peace while safeguarding Ukraine’s sovereignty, could play a key role in any such discussions.
