Putin-Zelensky Direct Talks Soon? Russia Teases New Chapter In Ukraine War Amid Trump Threats

Is peace finally on the table in Ukraine — and is Donald Trump the unlikely peacemaker? Over the weekend, Ukraine saw a one-day Easter truce. A brief, fragile pause in a war that's dragged on for over two years. Surprisingly, the push didn’t come from Kyiv or Moscow — it came from Washington. Trump, who once claimed he could end the war in 24 hours, is now grappling with the reality of a complex, multi-layered conflict.

While Zelensky has accepted a 30-day ceasefire proposal, Putin rejected it. Yet, both leaders are suddenly talking peace — or at least, hinting at it. Ukraine is gearing up for a major peace summit with key Western allies. Russia isn't invited, but Putin’s messaging is… uncharacteristically open. Is this a shift in strategy — or a smokescreen?

As Trump faces political heat at home and waning influence abroad, this could be his high-stakes gamble. But can he deliver, or will he walk away? Ananya Dutta decodes for Grey Zone.
