President Donald Trump has expressed hope that the Russia-Ukraine war could soon end following what he called “great talks” with both countries. Trump revealed that he and Russian President Vladimir Putin had agreed to begin negotiations “immediately” to stop the ongoing conflict.
Speaking from the Oval Office on Wednesday, Trump shared details of his conversation with Putin.
“We expect that he’ll come here, and I’ll go there, and we’re going to meet also, probably in Saudi Arabia,” he said.
Trump emphasized his commitment to finding a peaceful solution to what he called “Europe’s largest and deadliest land conflict since World War II.”
The president has repeatedly stated that the war would not have started if he had been in office during its outbreak. He has maintained that his strong relationship with Putin could help achieve a swift resolution. The possibility of a meeting between the two leaders has fueled speculation that a peace deal may be within reach.
The Russia-Ukraine war has caused significant loss of life and destruction, drawing international condemnation. The conflict, which began in 2022, has displaced millions and severely impacted global food and energy markets. Efforts by various countries and international organizations to mediate peace have so far failed.
Trump’s announcement has been met with cautious optimism. Some believe his personal diplomacy with Putin could yield results, while others remain skeptical of Russia’s intentions. The mention of Saudi Arabia as a potential meeting location suggests that a neutral venue may help facilitate the discussions.
The president expressed confidence that the conflict could end soon. “Good possibility of ending that horrible, very bloody war!!” he declared.
Despite the hopeful tone, challenges remain. Ukraine has repeatedly stated that any peace deal must include the return of its occupied territories. Russia, on the other hand, has insisted on keeping areas it has annexed.
As the world watches closely, Trump’s efforts could mark a turning point in the conflict. Both supporters and critics await the outcome of the proposed talks, which may decide the future of the war and impact global stability.
