Trump grants audience with Putin following Saudi Arabia trip

Here's the Latest on the Trump-Zelensky Negotiations and a Quick Breakdown on Putin's Role:

In a recent meeting at the Vatican, Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky discussed the ongoing conflict with Russia. Trump seemed optimistic about a potential deal, but Zelensky stressed Ukraine's urgent need for more weapons [2][3]. Trump has set a deadline for a Russia-Ukraine deal within "two weeks or less," although he's open to a bit more time if necessary [2].

Zelensky, on the other hand, continues to push for an unconditional ceasefire and emphasizes the importance of real pressure on Russia to accept a ceasefire and negotiate peace [3].

As for Trump's peace plan, it includes U.S. recognition of Crimea as part of Russia and acknowledging Russian control over other occupied areas in Ukraine. This proposal is considered highly biased towards Russia by Ukrainian officials [4]. Ukraine has historically opposed recognizing Russian control over these territories, viewing it as a major compromise. Zelensky, in the past, had ruled out accepting Russian occupation of these areas [4].

Unfortunately, Putin wasn't present at the Pope Francis funeral due to an International Criminal Court warrant for war crimes. He hasn't directly engaged in Trump's calls for high-level talks to end the war [3]. Despite diplomatic efforts, Russia persists in conducting missile and drone strikes in Ukraine, which Trump find disheartening [2]. Putin reportedly offered to freeze front lines but rejected elements like a European peacekeeping force [4].

Overall, even though there's ongoing diplomatic activity, substantial challenges remain in reaching a mutually acceptable agreement between Ukraine and Russia. Stay tuned for more updates!
