The United States and Ukraine have reportedly reached an agreement on a potential ceasefire plan, with U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff set to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in the coming days. The announcement signals a possible breakthrough in the prolonged conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

Speaking to the media, U.S. President Donald Trump emphasized that Russia could continue fighting for several more years, but a negotiated deal might be the best option for Ukraine. “Russia has vast manpower and military resources. I believe a deal would be better for Ukraine,” Trump said. He added that there is no strict deadline for ending the war, noting that “everyone is exhausted” and the goal is to stop the ongoing conflict.

President Trump also mentioned that discussions are ongoing with Russian officials and that he may engage directly in talks. “It’s possible I will speak with them. We are talking through their staff, and maybe we will discuss Venezuela as well,” he added.

With tensions high and international attention focused on Eastern Europe, the upcoming meeting between Trump’s envoy and President Putin will be closely watched by governments, analysts, and the global media. The world waits to see if this initiative can bring a historic pause to the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
