U.S. President Donald Trump has taken a major initiative to end the Russia-Ukraine war. After three years of continuous conflict, a ray of hope for peace is now visible.
World News: The world's attention is currently focused on the United States, Russia, and Ukraine. U.S. President Donald Trump has initiated proactive efforts to end the Russia-Ukraine conflict, which has been ongoing for three years. As part of this effort, he first met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska and then held a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House on Monday.
Following this important meeting, Trump made a major announcement, stating that preparations have begun for peace talks between Russia and Ukraine. He shared this information after a meeting at the White House with European leaders and Zelenskyy.
Location for Peace Talks to be Decided Soon
After discussions with European leaders and Zelenskyy at the White House, Trump said that he had spoken with Putin on the phone and plans are now underway to organize a direct meeting between the two leaders. "The location for the meeting has not yet been decided, but we will select a place for it very soon," Trump said.
He further stated that following this meeting, he himself will organize a trilateral summit with Putin and Zelenskyy. Following this announcement, the eyes of the world are fixed on the United States, Russia, and Ukraine.
Trump's Social Media Post
Trump wrote on his social media site Truth Social that there is worldwide enthusiasm regarding the possibility of peace in Russia-Ukraine. According to media reports, a source involved in the talks stated that Putin has also agreed to meet with Zelenskyy. This indication is proof that both sides are now moving towards diplomacy rather than war.
Under this potential peace agreement, Trump also discussed providing security guarantees to Ukraine. He clarified that European countries will play a key role in this and will coordinate with the United States. However, he also acknowledged that Russia is still against Ukraine joining NATO, but may accept security guarantees from Western countries.
This proposal could be a crucial part of the peace agreement, as Ukraine has long sought concrete security assurances to protect its borders and sovereignty.
Zelenskyy Describes it as the Best Conversation So Far
Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, after meeting with Trump at the White House, described it as the most positive conversation so far. "We had a very good conversation with President Trump. This was the best meeting so far. However, perhaps even better conversations may occur in the future," Zelenskyy said. He further stated that there was an in-depth discussion on security guarantees and the conditions for ending the war during the meeting.
Notably, just before the meeting, Trump wrote on social media that Zelenskyy could end the war immediately, provided he is ready to make a deal. Trump also indicated that Crimea would not be returned to Ukraine, nor would Ukraine be admitted to NATO. "Some things never change," Trump wrote. Trump's statement made it clear that the basis of the peace agreement will be realistic and Ukraine may have to make some difficult decisions.
