Recent comments from Washington and Moscow generate many questions about Ukraine-Russia relations and the prospects for reaching a peaceful agreement.

Former U.S.

President Donald Trump stated that Ukraine’s future now depends on the will of the current leadership, particularly President Volodymyr Zelensky.

After negotiations with Vladimir Putin, Trump sensed that the U.S.

aims to facilitate finding common solutions to end the conflict.

Clearly, some issues remain unresolved, but Trump expressed confidence that efforts are still ongoing.

During the interview, he emphasized that pauses in negotiations are possible and stressed, “Everything now depends on Zelensky.” He also highlighted that refusing to settle the conflict is destructive for both sides, and hopes the talks will conclude successfully.

News about a future meeting between the Ukrainian and Russian leaders raises many questions — who is organizing it, what goals it pursues, and whether it could change the course of events.

Meanwhile, experts point to the importance of diplomatic efforts and the need for a coordinated position from the European Union and the global community.

According to Trump, U.S.

support in this process is crucial for de-escalating the conflict and restoring peace.

Although many issues remain on the table, diplomatic persistence could lead to the long-awaited end of the war, which would be a historic achievement not only for Ukraine but for the entire international community.
