US President Donald Trump has described his recent phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin as "transcendental," stating that progress was made toward ending the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Trump spoke separately with both Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy this week and announced that ceasefire negotiations would begin imminently. Despite ongoing Russian strikes across Ukraine and skepticism from Kyiv residents, the US expects Russia to soon present a ceasefire proposal. Trump acknowledged that while progress has been made, the situation remains dire, referring to the conflict as a "bloodbath." Earlier, during his 2024 campaign, Trump promised to end the war within 24 hours of taking office, but four months into his term, peace remains elusive, and he has indicated he might "back away" from diplomatic efforts. Additionally, reports indicate that the US will not join new European Union sanctions against Russia. The evolving diplomatic efforts reflect ongoing challenges in resolving the three-year conflict.
