In a high-stakes meeting at the White House, U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday that both Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Russian President Vladimir Putin want to end the war in Ukraine. 🤝
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visited the White House to ask for Tomahawk missiles, hoping to strengthen his country's defense. Instead, Trump cast himself as the peacebroker, saying both Kyiv and Moscow are ready for a deal. ☮️
His comments followed a two-and-a-half-hour phone call with Putin, which Trump described as "productive." He told reporters that both leaders share a desire to push for a peaceful resolution – an idea that feels like a plot twist in this intense conflict. 🎬
Of course, talking peace is one thing; hammering out terms is another. Experts warn that negotiations will be tough, covering territory lines, security guarantees, and accountability. Still, Trump's peace pitch could shake up the usual back-and-forth. 🌐
Whether Trump's mediator act will lead to concrete talks is the next big question. For now, this unexpected twist adds a new layer to the Ukraine conflict saga. 🌍
