Well, folks, this one’s got the whole world watching. President Trump just held a key meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, and the message coming out of it? Hope. Real, serious hope that the war between Russia and Ukraine might actually be coming to a close—and with America right at the center of the deal.
Zelensky himself called the meeting with Trump “very good,” even saying it was the best one they’ve had so far. And if that wasn’t enough to raise eyebrows, he also said the best one might still be coming. That’s because President Trump isn’t just talking peace—he’s making moves. Big ones.
Let’s break this down.
On Monday, Trump and Zelensky sat down for a bilateral meeting. Shortly after that, Trump met again—with Zelensky and seven top European leaders, including leaders from Germany, France, Italy, and the UK. This wasn’t just a photo op. This was business.
What came out of it? President Trump revealed that Russian President Vladimir Putin has agreed to accept a deal that includes security guarantees for Ukraine. You heard that right. Putin is ready to make a deal. That’s something the Biden administration talked about for years but never got close to delivering. Trump, in just a few months back in office, is already moving toward it.
Now, let’s not sugarcoat it. There could be some hard decisions ahead for Ukraine. Trump hinted that Ukraine might have to give up some territory that Russia currently holds. That’s not easy, and it won’t sit well with everyone. But Zelensky made it clear—he’s ready to talk about it at a trilateral meeting with Trump and Putin. That’s the kind of leader-to-leader diplomacy we haven’t seen in years. No anonymous bureaucrats. No endless UN meetings. Just three presidents, face to face, trying to end a war.
Zelensky’s comments show he’s not just hopeful—he’s grateful. He thanked Trump for discussing security guarantees, prisoner exchanges, and even the effort to return abducted Ukrainian children. He even gave a shout-out to the First Lady for writing a letter about those children. That’s a powerful sign of how personal and serious these talks are getting.
But Trump wasn’t done.
Right there in the meeting, with cameras still rolling, Trump said he believed Putin wants to do something different. And then get this—he picked up the phone and called Putin. On the spot. That’s classic Trump: no waiting, no hiding behind press releases. Just action.
Now think about what that tells us. Trump has the kind of relationship with Putin that lets him make that call. That doesn’t mean they’re best friends—it means Trump knows how to deal with world leaders, even the tough ones. He knows how to talk to them, how to press the right buttons, and how to get results.
And the results could be huge.
Trump said he believes over a thousand prisoners could be released soon. Maybe even immediately. If that happens, it’ll be a major breakthrough—and a clear sign that peace is possible.
Look, nobody’s pretending this is going to be easy. Wars don’t end overnight. But for the first time in a long time, there’s a real path forward. A path that doesn’t involve endless U.S. dollars flowing overseas. A path that puts America in the driver’s seat—leading with strength, not weakness.
Zelensky wants this. Trump wants this. And based on what we’re hearing, even Putin might be ready to talk.
The question now is: will the rest of the world get on board, or keep dragging their feet?
One thing’s for sure—President Trump is getting things done. And the world is watching.
