Trump ‘Halts’ Crucial EU-Ukraine Talks to Call Putin | Nearly an Hour of Secret Peace Discussions
In a shocking move during a high-stakes White House summit, President Donald Trump paused meetings with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and key European leaders to call Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The call, which lasted nearly an hour, aimed to coordinate next steps in the Ukraine peace process.
Trump announced plans for a face-to-face Putin-Zelenskyy meeting, followed by a trilateral summit including the United States.
This unexpected development has raised questions about diplomacy, strategy, and the future of ongoing peace negotiations.
Watch the full coverage for insights, reactions, and what this means for the war in Ukraine.
Muscovites are reacting with a mix of hope, skepticism, and outrage as face-to-face talks between Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky are reportedly back on the table. While some see it as a crucial step toward a ceasefire and a potential win-win outcome, others question Zelensky’s legitimacy and doubt any progress can be made. From Red Square to the Kremlin embankment, opinions reveal a city divided over whether these talks could finally end the war—or simply become another stalemate.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt fiercely pushed back at a reporter who accused President Trump of disrespecting Europe during his latest call with Vladimir Putin. The heated exchange turned into a tense briefing-room showdown, highlighting deep divisions over Trump’s approach to Moscow and European allies.

Russia has launched fresh strikes on Ukraine, leaving at least 21 people dead and casting doubt on the prospects of meaningful negotiations.

Responding to reporters, Leavitt stressed that Trump personally heard the commitment from Putin and shared it transparently with the media.
