U.S. President Trump stated that efforts to prevent further escalation of the conflict are "somewhat under control." He emphasized the importance of "rational discussions" and maintaining good relationships with President Putin of Russia and President Zelenskiy of Ukraine to negotiate an end to the war.
Last week, Trump engaged in discussions with both leaders aimed at resolving the conflict, which began following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Although the talks did not achieve a full 30-day ceasefire, they resulted in an agreement from Putin to halt Russian attacks on energy infrastructure for 30 days, with Zelenskiy also indicating his willingness to accept such a pause.
