Can Trump Make Peace in Ukraine?
- On April 26, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Vatican City amid ongoing efforts to negotiate an end to Russia's war on Ukraine.
- This meeting followed months of intensified negotiation efforts, with the U.S. Considering sanctions and security guarantees due to Russia's recent missile strikes and ongoing territorial disputes.
- The proposed peace framework includes a ceasefire near current front lines and acknowledges Russian control of some territories, while Ukraine demands robust security and rejects formal abandonment of its 1991 borders.
- Trump has sent conflicting messages by publicly urging an end to the conflict and supporting sanctions against Russia, despite previously showing favor toward Moscow. Notably, on April 26, he posted on social media urging “Vladimir, STOP!” and later acknowledged that Putin might be manipulating him.
- While a narrow path to sustainable peace remains, significant uncertainties persist over Trump’s willingness to leverage U.S. Influence and Putin’s readiness to concede, with security arrangements and continued Western military support critical to deterring renewed Russian aggression.
