Trump Urges Peace Deal with Russia as Summit Tensions Rise
During a summit with Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump suggested Ukraine make a peace deal to end its war with Russia, emphasizing Russia's power. Trump discussed potential territorial agreements and security guarantees, but faced continued resistance from Ukraine and Europe's insistence on maintaining sanctions and security assurances.
Donald Trump, former U.S. President, called for a peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia during a summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Trump's comments were made after discussing a potential freeze of front lines if Ukraine agreed to cede territory, a proposal immediately rejected by Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.
Zelenskiy stressed the importance of halting the conflict as an essential element for peace. Despite differing stances, Trump and Zelenskiy plan to meet in Washington, with potential European participation, to discuss a viable resolution. Ukraine's European allies remain committed to supporting the nation against aggression through increased sanctions on Russia.
The summit highlighted the complexity of negotiations, with Trump's positions appearing favorable to Moscow. European leaders reiterated the need for steadfast security guarantees for Ukraine. Meanwhile, ongoing conflicts and air attacks underscore the urgent demand for a substantive resolution to this prolonged crisis.
