President Trump says there’s a “good chance” he could meet Russian and Ukrainian leaders, following “very good talks” between his envoy and Vladimir Putin in Moscow, BBC reported.
The talks come ahead of Trump’s deadline for Russia to agree to a ceasefire or face new sanctions. He has also imposed a 25 percent tariff on India over its Russian oil purchases.
Trump said European allies back efforts to end the war. Zelensky confirmed speaking with Trump and warned Russia will only move toward peace if financially pressured.
Despite diplomatic moves, Russian strikes continue. A recent attack on Kyiv killed 32, while another in Zaporizhzhia left two dead. The US has approved $200m in new military aid to Ukraine, according to BBC.
