President-elect Donald Trump announced plans for a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, although no specific date has been set. This marks a shift from the current administration's approach to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Trump's potential return to the White House has raised hopes for a diplomatic resolution to the ongoing war, which began in February 2022. However, there are concerns in Ukraine about the implications of a quick peace deal. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that Putin is open to contact with Trump but suggested waiting until Trump officially takes office. The future of U.S. aid to Ukraine remains uncertain under Trump's leadership.
