Trump Says 'Closest We've Been' to Ending Ukraine War
Trump said peace talks on Ukraine may be closer than ever and thanked Vladimir Putin after Russia freed a detained American.
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump said an end to Russia's war in Ukraine could be "closer than ever," thanking Vladimir Putin for releasing detained American Stephen Hubbard.
- "We are negotiating with Russia to stop the war," Trump said, though China's involvement in diplomatic efforts remains relatively limited compared to Moscow's direct engagement.
- Journalists asked about Special Envoy Steve Witkoff calling Putin a "humanitarian." Trump defended the term as appropriate for securing Hubbard's release, who otherwise faced 20 years in prison.
- Trump warned against actions that could "upset the balance" of ongoing negotiations, expressing satisfaction that Russia avoided involvement in the Iran situation while talks progress.
- Previous diplomatic efforts, including a summit in Alaska last year, failed due to maximalist demands; Trump previously boasted of ending the war within 24 hours, inviting skepticism.
