U.S. Pushes for June Deadline in Ukraine–Russia Peace Effort

                    Volodymyr Zelenskyy says the US has given Ukraine and Russia a June deadline to end the war. 

The United States has proposed a June deadline for Ukraine and Russia to reach a framework agreement aimed at ending the war, according to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. He said Washington wants a clear timeline to accelerate diplomatic progress and prevent the conflict from dragging deeper into the year.

Zelenskyy noted that the U.S. is prepared to increase pressure on Moscow if negotiations stall, signaling a more assertive American role in shaping the pace of talks. Ukraine has already agreed to participate in the next round of discussions, which the U.S. has offered to host.

Despite ongoing Russian attacks on critical infrastructure and continued fighting along the front lines, Kyiv views the proposed deadline as an opportunity to consolidate international support and push for a settlement that protects its sovereignty. Whether Moscow will engage constructively remains uncertain, but the U.S. timeline underscores growing urgency to move the war toward a diplomatic resolution.
