US President Trump Calls Talks with Putin "Productive" Amid Ukraine Conflict
In discussions over a ceasefire in Ukraine, President Trump describes his talks with President Putin as "good and productive," although skepticism remains from Ukrainian officials.
Zelensky asserted that Russia continues to complicate peace efforts, stating that Putin is likely to reject the ceasefire proposal, highlighting a pattern of stalling without direct refusals. The Ukraine leadership has accepted the US-proposed ceasefire conditions, which Russia has yet to sign on to. The proposal includes an unconditional 30-day interim ceasefire and the exchange of prisoners, steps that could move towards a more lasting peace.
Despite the optimism from the US side, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that the talks in Moscow were indeed productive and emphasized Trump's continuing influence over Putin. Trump urged the Russian leader to spare the lives of Ukrainian troops, warning that not doing so could lead to significant loss of life.
On the international stage, G7 members gathered in Quebec, united in support of the US's ceasefire initiative, stating that the next move lies with Russia. UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer is set to host an international video call to further discuss peacekeeping efforts, aiming to establish a coalition to support long-term peace and stability in Ukraine.
As tensions remain high and skepticism persists, the world watches closely for Russia's response to the proposed ceasefire, while both sides continue to navigate through this complex situation.
