U.S. President Donald Trump has claimed that a draft peace plan for ending the war in Ukraine contains only a few remaining points of disagreement. In a statement released on Friday, Trump announced that his administration has made significant progress in negotiations with Ukraine and that the final details of the plan are nearing completion.
However, the Kremlin has denied that the U.S. proposal was discussed in Abu Dhabi, where Trump’s envoy was sent to Moscow. Russian President Vladimir Putin’s spokesperson stated that the plan was not part of the discussions, and that Trump’s envoy was instead focusing on other diplomatic matters. The Kremlin’s stance has raised questions about the timing and nature of the U.S. envoy’s visit to Russia.
Trump’s comments come as the conflict in Ukraine continues to strain international relations. While the U.S. and its allies continue to support Ukraine with military and economic aid, Russia has accused Western nations of prolonging the war and causing unnecessary suffering. The Trump administration’s approach has been seen as less interventionist compared to previous administrations, but its impact on the ongoing conflict remains unclear.
