Tense Talks: Trump, Ukraine, and Russia's Proposal

Donald Trump discussed a peace proposal between Ukraine and Russia with Ukraine's leader. The plan, suggested by Vladimir Putin, involved Ukraine withdrawing from the eastern regions of Donetsk and Luhansk in exchange for a freeze on frontlines. It included a potential promise from Russia to halt further aggression.

Amid ongoing tensions, U.S. President Donald Trump communicated a contentious proposal to Ukraine's leadership this Saturday. According to sources, Russian leader Vladimir Putin is suggesting a deal where Ukraine would withdraw its forces from the disputed Donetsk and Luhansk regions.

In return, Russia promises to freeze those frontlines elsewhere and halt further aggression against Ukraine. However, this proposal was met with hesitation as it came without the promise of an immediate ceasefire.

U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff joined Trump in conveying that Putin's offer was contingent on Ukraine fulfilling this condition, potentially opening a new chapter in the conflict between the nations.
