Trump Offers Mediation in Ukraine Conflict

Published on 5.21.25

  US President Donald Trump has offered to mediate in the Ukraine conflict, stating that he would like to facilitate a discussion between Ukrainian and Russian leaders if Russian President Vladimir Putin attends. This move comes as part of ongoing efforts by world leaders to find a peaceful resolution to the conflict. The US has provided billions of dollars in aid to Ukraine since Russia's invasion in February 2022, but recent attacks have raised concerns about the effectiveness of diplomatic efforts. A recent drone attack killed nine civilians and injured seven others, prompting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to call for stricter sanctions against Moscow. Trump expressed his willingness to mediate if Putin attends a discussion, saying "I know he would like me to be there, and that's a possibility." This statement suggests that Trump is willing to engage with Putin directly, potentially paving the way for a breakthrough in negotiations.
