Updated May 26, 2025
President Trump indicated that Russian President Vladimir Putin is interested in ending the conflict in Ukraine and commencing immediate negotiations for a ceasefire. The two leaders spoke by phone for two hours.
Trump stated that he urged Putin to halt the ”bloodshed” and believes Putin genuinely desires to end the three-year war. The potential for Russia and Ukraine to find compromises is vital, according to Putin.
Trump also mentioned that the Vatican has expressed interest in hosting the negotiations, suggesting it could help ease the “tremendous bitterness” between the involved parties.
“I said, when are we going to end this, Vladimir I’ve known him for a long time now.I said, when are we gonna end this bloodshed, this blood bath? Its a blood bath. And I do believe he wants to end it,” Trump said after the call Monday.
Brad Bowman, wiht the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, expressed skepticism regarding Putin’s sincerity. Speaking on CBN’s Faith Nation, Bowman suggested Putin is being “duplicitous, deceitful” and will continue to extract concessions unless the Trump administration imposes serious consequences.
“Seems to me that the former KGB Col. Vladimir Putin is continuing to do what he does best and that is being duplicitous, deceitful and to drag things out and extract as manny concessions as possible. Until this administration, the Trump administration starts to impose serious consequences, additional consequences on Putin, I think we’re going to see more of the same form the Kremlin,” bowman said.
President Trump stated his willingness to withdraw support if the involved parties fail to reach an agreement, emphasizing that this is a European matter that should have remained contained within Europe.
What’s next
Future developments hinge on whether Russia and Ukraine agree to negotiate and if a suitable location,such as the Vatican,can be secured to facilitate productive discussions toward a lasting ceasefire and resolution to the conflict.
