Donald Trump claimed progress in peace talks with Vladimir Putin, saying Russia and Ukraine would “immediately” begin negotiations toward a ceasefire and war’s end. However, Putin was more cautious, expressing willingness to work on a peace memorandum but emphasizing the need for compromises. Ukraine’s Zelensky urged Trump not to decide without Kyiv’s input. While Trump remains hopeful, doubts linger as Putin has yet to agree to an unconditional truce.
