In a meeting that could reshape the future of Ukraine’s war with Russia, Presidents Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky came together in Rome.
The two leaders, meeting for the first time since their fiery Oval Office encounter in February, seemed optimistic about the potential for peace.
Zelensky called their discussion “very productive.”
He hopes it could lead to a historic breakthrough—if they can achieve the results they’ve discussed.
The big points: a ceasefire, the protection of lives, and a lasting peace that could prevent future wars.
While the specifics of their talks remain private.
Zelensky emphasized that the symbolic nature of the meeting could change the course of history.
What’s The Catch?
But here’s the catch: peace negotiations have proven tricky.
Trump’s team has floated ideas like officially recognizing Crimea as Russian territory—a major sticking point for Ukraine.
And there are concerns about how quickly sanctions on Russia might be lifted and what security guarantees Ukraine would get.
Despite their rocky past, Trump and Zelensky are on the same page for now, both aiming for a quick resolution.
