Trump and Putin Signal Potential Breakthrough in Ukraine Peace Talks

Amid European unease, U.S. and Russia pursue direct negotiations, sidelining Ukraine and EU in Riyadh discussions.

  • Donald Trump has expressed confidence in reaching an agreement with Vladimir Putin to end the war in Ukraine, following discussions between U.S. and Russian officials in Riyadh.
  • The negotiations have sparked criticism from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who denounced the talks as excluding Ukraine from decisions about its own future.
  • European leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron, are organizing meetings to address the situation but remain divided on the role of European forces in Ukraine.
  • Russia continues its military campaign in Ukraine, with recent attacks on Odessa leaving significant areas without power or heating and damaging civilian infrastructure.
  • The U.S. and Russia are reportedly establishing a 'mechanism of consultation' to address broader geopolitical tensions, raising concerns among European officials about being sidelined in strategic decisions.
