Former U.S. President Donald Trump says a peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia could be near. He stated that negotiating teams are "getting a lot closer, maybe very close" to a deal.
Trump made the claim after separate discussions with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. He did not provide specific details about the potential terms.
The announcement comes without confirmation from the governments of Ukraine, Russia, or the current U.S. administration. Active fighting continues in eastern Ukraine.
World leaders and security analysts will likely treat the claim with caution. Any genuine peace deal would require complex, verified compromises from both warring nations.
