President Donald Trump has urged Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to negotiate directly to end the war. He stated, “They have to get together because we want to stop the war and the killing.” Trump recently spoke with both leaders and expressed optimism that a deal could be reached soon.
However, Trump’s comments have drawn criticism, especially after he referred to Zelenskyy as a “dictator without elections.” In response, Zelenskyy stressed that any peace deal must include security guarantees to prevent future Russian aggression. The international community remains divided on whether such direct talks will lead to a lasting resolution.
