Trump said Putin is ready to negotiate, but intelligence officials in the United States, Ukraine and Europe still doubt his commitment.

  • On Wednesday, President Donald Trump said he held a "great" conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin earlier in the week, claiming the Russian leader is eager to negotiate a peace agreement to end the Russia-Ukraine war.
  • Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner recently visited Moscow and Kyiv, where they met with Russian officials to discuss potential proposals to bring the conflict to a close.
  • Trump told reporters that "the hold-up is two people that hate each other," referring to the personal animosity between Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as the primary obstacle to peace.
  • Before boarding Air Force One for the Republican National Convention in Dallas, Trump expressed optimism about a diplomatic resolution, arguing that peace depends on both leaders' willingness to negotiate.
  • Intelligence officials in Ukraine and Europe remain skeptical, continuing to doubt that Putin is seriously interested in ending the ongoing war, now in its fourth year.
