In a shocking moment at the White House, U.S. President Donald Trump defended Russian President Vladimir Putin in front of Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky, leaving the Ukrainian president speechless. Trump insisted that the focus should be on a “deal, not a ceasefire,” sparking global outrage and raising fears about Western unity in the war. He refused to directly condemn Russia’s invasion, even hinting at U.S. security guarantees for Ukraine’s future and suggesting that American troop deployment could be on the table, pending discussions with European allies. Trump also revealed that Putin is “waiting for his call” after the meeting — a statement that set off alarms in Kyiv, Brussels, and Washington. The tense encounter underscored growing fractures between Western allies over how to end the conflict, and left Zelensky visibly cornered in the most high-stakes meeting of his political career.

In a dramatic White House moment, U.S. President Donald Trump declared that a peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia is “very attainable,” urging Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin to intensify direct talks. While acknowledging that all sides would prefer an immediate ceasefire, Trump emphasized that Washington’s focus is on securing a “lasting peace” rather than temporary pauses. His remarks came amid heightened global tension, with allies watching closely to see if Trump’s bold diplomatic gambit will shift the trajectory of the war. Trump suggested that both Zelensky and Putin must engage further but hinted that U.S. influence could play a decisive role in shaping the eventual framework. As the war grinds on, Trump’s comments raised questions over whether this signals a turning point or another uncertain pause in a conflict that has already reshaped global security.
