Trump says Russia-Ukraine deal could be near ahead of December’s G20 summit
Trump said talks could produce a breakthrough as U.S. mediators pursue security guarantees and other concessions amid deep disagreements over territory.
- On October 3, 2026, President Donald Trump expressed optimism about a Russia-Ukraine peace agreement, predicting a breakthrough during the December G20 summit in Florida and stating he is "getting close to concluding a deal."
- Special envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff have held recent meetings with Russian President Vladimir Putin and President Volodymyr Zelensky to bridge fundamental gaps, though the Kremlin continues to demand maximum concessions.
- Secretary of State Marco Rubio adopted a cautious tone at the G20 meeting in Atlanta, stating, "I don't think anyone here is claiming that we are on the verge of a negotiated settlement."
- Russia's continued bombardment of Ukraine's energy grid left hundreds of thousands without power; a limited local ceasefire in a Russian-occupied city expired on Monday, quickly reversed by renewed attacks on aid distribution centers.
- President Trump confirmed he would welcome Zelensky to the Miami summit, though skepticism remains regarding Putin's attendance; experts note that intermediate deals often lack the trust foundations required for sustainable breakthroughs.
