US-Russia Tensions Escalate Over Ukraine Proposal

Published on 4.26.25

  The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has brought international relations between the United States and Russia to a boiling point, with US President Donald Trump pushing for a peace deal that would recognize Crimea as Russian territory. This proposal was met with resistance from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, who refused to agree to the terms. The proposed peace deal, which has been described by Trump as "very close" to being finalized, would see Russia retain control of occupied areas in Ukraine, including Crimea. However, Zelenskiy's refusal to accept this arrangement has made negotiations more challenging. The US has applied pressure on Ukraine to accept the deal. Despite promising a deal within 24 hours on the campaign trail, Trump now hopes for a peace agreement "this week". Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov warns against rushing into a ceasefire, citing the issue's complexity.
