Trump proposed a potential agreement between Putin and Zelensky regarding the ongoing conflict
In the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, recent statements from the White House have offered a glimmer of hope for a potential resolution. President Donald Trump has expressed confidence that Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky will agree to end the conflict.
However, as of late August 2025, a direct meeting between Putin and Zelensky has not taken place, and there are no immediate plans for one. Russian officials, including Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, have stated that conditions for talks have not yet been met, with Putin reportedly willing to meet Zelenskyy only when a clear agenda is established. Zelensky has expressed that Russia is actively undermining the possibility of such a meeting.
Negotiations for peace have occurred intermittently since the start of the invasion in February 2022 but have repeatedly stalled. The main sticking points include Russia's demands for recognition of all occupied and claimed Ukrainian territories as Russian, guarantees that Ukraine will never join NATO, and limitations on Ukraine's military. On the Ukrainian side, demands focus on a full Russian troop withdrawal, return of prisoners and kidnapped children, war crimes prosecutions, and security guarantees.
In 2025, some renewed negotiations began, partly influenced by U.S. political changes—namely Donald Trump’s presidency—with the U.S. administration broadly agreeing with Russian proposals, while European countries support Ukraine’s position and have proposed a ceasefire guarded by allied troops. However, Russia has rejected calls for a ceasefire, maintaining military pressure including ongoing drone attacks. This divergence continues to complicate substantive progress.
As the situation unfolds, staying informed is crucial. The White House, through its official channels, provides updates on the conflict. Additionally, subscribing to a website or joining a Telegram channel dedicated to breaking news in Russia and the world can help keep you updated on the latest developments. These platforms aim to keep users informed about the biggest news and consider the updates important or significant.
In summary, despite some behind-the-scenes talks and international mediation attempts, negotiations remain deadlocked without a clear path to high-level talks or a ceasefire, mainly due to fundamental disagreements on territorial and security demands from both sides. The conflict continues to be a significant global concern, and staying informed is key to understanding its evolving dynamics.
