**Trump Says Talks with Russia to End Ukraine War Are Already Happening**
Donald Trump says discussions are already underway with Russia to try and end the war in Ukraine. Speaking to reporters, he didn’t directly confirm if he had personally spoken with Vladimir Putin but hinted that a meeting between them was already set. According to Trump, negotiations are happening, and he’s confident progress can be made. He also doubled down on his usual claim that the war never would have happened if he had been in office at the time.
When asked outright if he had spoken to Putin, Trump dodged the question but insisted serious talks were taking place. He emphasized that his team was working toward a major breakthrough and that a meeting was in the works. However, he didn’t share any specifics about what the talks involve or what the outcome might be.
Meanwhile, US Special Envoy for Ukraine and Russia, Keith Kellogg, seems optimistic that the war could wrap up within months. Speaking to Fox News, he praised Trump’s negotiation skills and suggested he could broker a deal between Moscow and Kyiv. Both Kellogg and Trump have previously claimed a peace agreement could be reached within a month, though they haven’t shared any concrete details on how they’d make that happen. For now, there’s no clear political solution in sight, and it’s uncertain how Ukraine would respond to any proposed deal.
