Trump Steps Back from Mediating Russia–Ukraine Talks

U.S. President Donald Trump is pulling back from a direct role in mediating between Russia and Ukraine, according to senior administration sources cited by The Guardian. Trump reportedly intends to let Moscow and Kyiv attempt to organize a meeting between Presidents Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky without U.S. involvement at this stage. He views a summit between the two leaders as the next step toward ending the war in Ukraine. Advisers say Trump has expressed plans in recent days to hold a trilateral summit only after an initial Putin–Zelensky meeting takes place — though it remains unclear if that first meeting will happen, and Trump does not plan to assist in arranging it.
