What's next for Russia-Ukraine peace talks?

The White House is developing a framework for a potential meeting between the Russian and Ukrainian presidents to negotiate peace amid ongoing conflict since 2022, officials said.

  • Karoline Leavitt told reporters on Tuesday that President Donald Trump and President Vladimir Putin agreed to start the next peace phase with a Putin-Zelenskyy meeting, possibly followed by a trilateral summit.
  • After a week that included a Trump-Putin Alaska meeting, the Oval Office gathering on Monday with European leaders and NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte pushed talks forward.
  • Russian officials responded that Russia disputed the White House account and emphasized any summit requires a "step-by-step" expert-led process, with Putin demanding control of Donetsk and Luhansk.
  • Politico reported Tuesday that Budapest may host talks, but White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt declined to confirm the location and said the step might not occur if talks do not advance; the U.S. National Security Council is drafting a framework to support the proposed talks.
  • Major diplomatic hurdles remain, notably Kyiv's ceasefire demands and Ukraine's need for security guarantees, while trust issues from inconsistent U.S. support under President Donald Trump complicate talks.
