May 20, 2025 — Moscow / Washington / Kyiv
U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Monday that Russia and Ukraine will begin immediate negotiations aimed at securing a ceasefire and ending the ongoing conflict that has persisted for over three years.
The announcement followed a high-level phone conversation between President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, signaling a renewed diplomatic push to resolve one of Europe’s most critical and protracted wars.
Details of the discussion remain limited, but the statement marks a rare sign of potential de-escalation in a war that has cost thousands of lives and displaced millions.
Officials from both Kyiv and Moscow have not yet confirmed a formal timeline for the talks. However, international observers have welcomed the move as a possible step toward stability in the region.
