U.S. President Donald Trump has urged Ukraine and Russia to negotiate a peace deal before winter following recent diplomatic talks with both leaders.

U.S. President Donald Trump has called on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin to negotiate an agreement to end the war in Ukraine prior to winter. Speaking after a telephone conversation with Putin, Trump expressed confidence that the Russian leader is seeking a resolution, stating that "if Zelensky wants a deal, that would be great."

Following his own meeting with Trump, Zelensky described the discussions as positive, reiterating that both Kyiv and Washington share the goal of stopping Russian aggression in the coming months. However, specific frameworks or terms for potential peace negotiations remain unspecified by all parties.
