Putin and Zelensky could meet within next two weeks thanks to Trump’s attempts to end brutal war

Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky could meet within the next two weeks thanks to President Trump’s efforts to bring an end to the war, according to German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.

Putin agreed to the potential meeting, which would take place at a location to be determined, during a phone call with the president on Monday, said Merz, who was among a delegation of European leaders who met with Trump and Zelensky in Washington to pledge their support for Ukraine.

During a break in the discussions, Trump called Putin who “agreed that there would be a meeting between the Russian president and the Ukrainian president within the next two weeks,” Merz told reporters.

Trump proposed such a meeting so that peace negotiations could “truly begin” three-and-a-half years since Russia’s full scale invasion of Ukraine, added Merz.

However, the announcement about a possible meeting between the warring world leaders comes as Russia unleashed its largest drone attack on its neighbor this month Monday night, sparking concerns that Moscow is not ready for peace.
