Former United States president Donald Trump is considering meetings with both Russian leader Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky, as the White House signals openness to high-level talks aimed at ending the ongoing war in Ukraine. The discussions follow what Trump described as 'highly productive' negotiations between his envoy and Russian officials in Moscow, with European leaders and the NATO Secretary General also reportedly involved in recent calls. While Trump has threatened new sanctions against Russia and its trade partners if progress is not made, uncertainty remains over the timing and format of any potential summit, as United States officials caution that no meeting is yet scheduled. Tensions between Washington and Moscow continue to escalate, with both sides trading warnings over military deployments and economic measures, as fighting in Ukraine intensifies and diplomatic efforts struggle to achieve a breakthrough.
