US envoys hope for new Ukraine-Russia talks soon after visits to both capitals
The Trump administration renews its push to end the four-and-a-half-year war, claiming significant progress in talks with both leaders.
- Why it matters
- A US-mediated negotiation would directly affect whether the war continues or halts, shaping military aid levels and territorial outcomes.
- Most affected
- Ukrainian forces and civilians — War continuation or terms depend on whether talks produce ceasefire terms.
Russian forces and government — Military objectives or concessions hinge on whether talks proceed and what terms emerge. - Likely next
- Whether Ukraine and Russia confirm they are entering formal negotiations, or whether either side rejects the US proposal.
