Trump Said only He Could Get Putin to Make a Ukraine Peace Deal. It Hasn't Happened.
- On Monday in Washington, DC, President Donald Trump engaged in a much-anticipated conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin, seeking to advance negotiations toward a peace deal for Ukraine.
- The call followed repeated claims by Trump during his 2024 campaign that only he could quickly end the multi-year Russia-Ukraine conflict, though experts note such complex wars cannot be settled in a single day.
- Despite Trump's optimism and urging Putin to meet, the call produced no breakthrough as Russia increased drone attacks on Kyiv and other cities, while Putin expressed readiness for a peace memorandum but gave no details.
- Trump stated that no progress would occur until he and Putin met, emphasized the presence of very large egos in the situation, and indicated he intended to stay engaged but might withdraw if no advancement was made.
- The ongoing conflict and intensified Russian strikes after the call imply that hopes for a quick peace remain dim, with Ukrainian President Zelensky emphasizing the need for sustained U.S. Involvement against Russian aggression.

As Trump shies away from holding Russia accountable, Canada must increase military aid to Ukraine - Spencer Fernando
While the future is uncertain, America's current tilt toward Russia is likely a historical aberration. It rests upon many unrepeatable factors, including Donald Trump's personal views on Russia, his psychological hold over the Republican Party, a high-point (or low-point) in social media manipulation by hostile powers like Russia, and the military weakness of Canada and Europe, weakness that is slowly being addressed and will thus reduce America…


In the absence of rapid success, Donald Trump has lost interest in a Ukraine peace. He makes his threats against Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin puffed up. Europeans cannot count on American support in their sanctions against Russia.
