Kremlin Praises Trump's Efforts for Peace in Ukraine

The Kremlin expressed approval of U.S. President Donald Trump's stance on ending the Ukraine conflict. Both nations are preparing for a Trump-Putin meeting. There's mutual political will for peace, and Trump sees NATO membership for Ukraine as impractical. Details are yet to be finalized.

The Kremlin has lauded U.S. President Donald Trump's approach to resolving the Ukraine conflict, highlighting a shared intent for a peaceful resolution. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov noted ongoing preparations for a bilateral meeting between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Peskov emphasized the political commitment from both nations to end the three-year war. Trump and Putin recently held an extensive phone discussion, with Trump opposing Ukraine's NATO membership—considered a security guarantee by Kyiv.

Peskov remains tight-lipped about where the potential Trump-Putin meeting might occur, suggesting talks of Saudi Arabia or Moscow remain early discussions. The Kremlin is optimistic about dialogue but notes discussions with European entities are premature.
