Trump’s EXPLOSIVE Claims Amid SCO 2025 | Vows To Conduct Trilateral Meeting Between Putin & Zelensky [Video]

Trump’s EXPLOSIVE Claims Amid SCO 2025 | Vows To Conduct Trilateral Meeting Between Putin & Zelensky

A diplomatic drama is unfolding as US President Donald Trump declared that a trilateral summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky “will happen.” The statement comes after Trump’s Alaska summit with Putin, where he urged a one-on-one between Moscow and Kyiv first. While the Kremlin has not ruled out direct talks, it insists any bilateral must be the final stage once concrete progress is made. Meanwhile, Zelensky has reportedly asked Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to “send the right signal” to Putin, pressing India’s weight as a potential mediator. Kremlin officials confirm flexibility on some issues, but warn NATO’s militarization of Ukraine makes peace elusive. With Putin currently in China, Trump’s bold promise, Kyiv’s appeals to Modi, and Moscow’s warnings against Western “peacekeepers” are shaping a high-stakes diplomatic gamble that could define the next phase of the Ukraine war. #Trump #Putin #Zelensky #Modi #Russia #Ukraine #US #China #Moscow #Kyiv #PeaceTalks #TrilateralSummit #BreakingNews #Geopolitics #NATO #India #AlaskaSummit #Diplomacy #UkraineWar #WorldPolitics ~HT.410~ED.102~GR.124~
