Putin meets Trump’s team in surprise ceasefire push.

Vladimir Putin has met with senior negotiators sent by Donald Trump, reviving efforts to end the Russia-Ukraine war. The talks mark a fresh diplomatic push after weeks of stalled progress. While no official statement was released, sources close to the meeting described the discussions as focused on a possible ceasefire framework. Trump’s envoys traveled to Moscow as part of a broader attempt to broker a deal. The Kremlin has not confirmed details, but the meeting signals a potential shift in momentum. Ukraine has not yet commented on the talks. Western officials remain cautious, noting that previous ceasefire proposals failed to produce lasting results. The war, now in its fourth year, has killed tens of thousands and displaced millions. Any new agreement would face significant hurdles, including territorial disputes and security guarantees. Observers say the meeting alone does not guarantee peace, but it reopens a channel that had gone quiet. Both sides have shown little public flexibility in recent months. Further talks are expected in the coming days.
