Kremlin holds out as Trump proposes summit with Putin amid stalled Ukraine war talks.
Russia and Ukraine remain locked in a grinding war of attrition, with minimal progress toward peace. U.S. President Donald Trump suggested a potential summit with Vladimir Putin to “bring both sides to the table,” drawing condemnation from Kyiv.
Trump claimed he could “end the war in 24 hours,” repeating a campaign promise. The White House has not confirmed any plans, but insiders say backchannel discussions may occur at the G20.
Ukrainian President Zelensky called the idea premature and accused Trump of “normalizing the aggressor.”
NATO leaders remain cautious, unwilling to undercut Ukraine’s negotiating stance. As Ukraine’s counteroffensive slows, both military and diplomatic pressure are intensifying.
