President Donald Trump has decided to step back from direct involvement in peace talks between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, according to The Guardian. Instead, Trump has urged Moscow and Kyiv to organize a bilateral meeting independently, stating he will take a “wait-and-see position” to evaluate whether such negotiations are feasible.
The move signals a shift in Washington’s approach, with the U.S. opting to reduce its immediate role in shaping dialogue between the two nations. Analysts note that Trump’s decision could either open the door for direct Russia-Ukraine engagement or risk prolonging diplomatic deadlock as the war continues.
