He described this ongoing diplomatic effort as a potential path to peace, stating, “Everyone is very happy about the possibility of PEACE for Russia/Ukraine.”
During the meeting at the White House, Trump was joined by European leaders, including the NATO Secretary General and heads of state from Germany, Italy, France, and the UK. Their discussions focused on providing Ukraine with necessary security guarantees—a key demand for any ceasefire negotiations. Trump emphasized the collaboration of various European countries alongside the United States, which he believes strengthens the framework for establishing stability.
After concluding the multilateral discussions, Trump reached out to Putin, initiating arrangements for a future meeting with Zelensky. “After that meeting takes place, we will have a Trilat,” Trump stated, referring to an upcoming trilateral meeting that would include himself, Putin, and Zelensky. He characterized the meetings as “a very good, early step for a War that has been going on for almost four years.”
This announcement comes as a pivotal moment, showcasing Trump’s active role in international diplomacy. It follows a series of talks with various global leaders and reflects his ongoing commitment to resolving the conflict in Ukraine. Trump’s administration is also coordinating with other U.S. officials, including Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, to ensure that these diplomatic channels remain open and effective.
As the situation continues to evolve, early reactions indicate cautious optimism from those involved. The multilateral meeting, which took place in the White House’s East Room, ended at approximately 5:35 PM ET, and Trump indicated that further discussions at the Oval Office would follow. The unfolding dynamics between Russia and Ukraine may hold significant implications for future diplomatic relations and regional stability.
