Kremlin Backs Trump’s Renewed Push for Ukraine Peace Talks

The Kremlin has welcomed U.S. President Donald Trump’s stated intention to shift his focus toward ending the war in Ukraine following the recently brokered ceasefire in Gaza.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov responded positively, noting that Moscow remains open to dialogue. “We certainly welcome such intentions and the confirmation of the political will to do everything possible to promote the search for peaceful solutions,” Peskov said.

The announcement comes as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky prepares to meet Trump in Washington later this week, where discussions are expected to center on security guarantees and potential steps toward a negotiated settlement.

While both Kyiv and Moscow have accused each other of stalling past negotiations, Trump’s renewed involvement has raised hopes that momentum from the Gaza ceasefire could spill over into efforts to end the conflict in Eastern Europe.
