Trump is pushing Europe to play a more active role in resolving the conflict, including deploying troops to Ukraine to oversee a ceasefire. He also advocates using tariffs on China as leverage to pressure Russia into ending the conflict, making it a pivotal point in the ongoing peace negotiations.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has thrown the international community a curveball by declaring his readiness to negotiate a ceasefire with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump.

Putin, known for his unbending stance on Ukraine, has decided that compromise might be the path to ending the devastating conflict.

Putin’s pronouncement came during his annual televised Q&A session, where he fielded questions from a reporter for a U.S. news channel. He made it clear that he’s open to talks with Trump, whom he claimed he’d not spoken to in years. The Russian leader’s willingness to engage in dialogue signals a potentially historic shift in the approach to resolving the Ukraine crisis.

“I am ready to meet with Donald Trump and find a way to end the war,” Putin stated, his eyes flashing a mix of determination. “We have always said that we are ready for negotiations and compromises.”

However, Putin still maintains that his forces are marching towards victory on the battlefield. He’s painted a picture of a war where the Ukrainian fighters are slowly dwindling, leaving “no one left who wants to fight.”

Trump, known for his dealmaking prowess, needs to be sharp as a tack to cut through Putin’s rhetoric. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has got his work cut out too. He’s already facing internal pressure, with some politicians viewing any compromise akin to surrender.

Will Putin’s “compromise” be enough to bring a ceasefire? The answer might lie in the fine print of the terms he’s willing to accept. Putin claims Russia has no conditions to start talks with Ukraine and is willing to negotiate with Kyiv’s legitimate authorities, but he’s still holding the cards close to his chest.

The Russia-Ukraine war has already claimed tens of thousands of lives and displaced millions, making it the biggest crisis in relations between Moscow and the West since the Cuban Missile Crisis. If Trump can navigate the waters of diplomacy and Putin’s shifting allegiances, the end to the bloodshed is not far-fetched.

Trump wants Europe to oversee the ceasefire

Meanwhile, Trump has expressed his goal of ending the war but he is pressing Europe to take the lead in overseeing the ceasefire in Ukraine.

During a recent Paris meeting, Trump made his position crystal clear: Europe must step up or the conflict will rumble on.

At the heart of Trump’s Ukraine plan is a simple yet revolutionary idea: Europe should deploy troops to Ukraine to oversee a ceasefire and deter Russian aggression. However, his vision of peace comes with a hefty price tag for the old continent.

During the meeting, Trump made his goals clear to Zelensky and French President Emmanuel Macron: The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) membership for Ukraine is definitely out of the picture, and the EU must shoulder the burden of peacekeeping.

Trump’s plan would require Europe to dip into its deep pockets and commit significant military aid to Ukraine. His point was if they wanted peace, Europeans would have to pay for it.

Trump is also pushing Europe to leverage its economic clout with China. He’s advocating for the use of tariffs on China as a bargaining chip to pressure Beijing into getting Russia to end the conflict. It’s a bold gambit that could make or break the peace process.

Zelensky, a man on the front lines of this brutal conflict, would likely welcome any effort to end the war. But he’s not about to relinquish his quest for NATO membership just yet. The Ukrainian leader has hinted at being open to negotiations with Russia, but only if it means securing a path to eventual NATO and EU membership for his country.
