Urgent Talks Aim to Resolve Conflict and Cut Nuclear Arms
U.S. President Donald Trump announced Thursday he’s seeking an immediate meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the ongoing Ukraine crisis. Speaking via video link at Davos, Trump emphasized urgency: \"I’d meet immediately…Putin would like to see me\" 🕒. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also signaled readiness for a deal, according to Trump.
From Campaign Promises to Sanctions
Trump’s push follows his pre-election vow to broker a Ukraine-Russia agreement \"on day one.\" While advisors now warn the conflict could take months to resolve, Trump doubled down, threatening \"high levels\" of sanctions on Russia if no progress is made 💼. Putin, meanwhile, reiterated openness to dialogue but stressed addressing the war’s root causes 🌱.
Nuclear Arms on the Agenda
Trump also pitched denuclearization talks, claiming Putin \"liked the idea\" of slashing stockpiles. This comes as the New START treaty—the last major U.S.-Russia nuclear pact—remains in limbo after Russia suspended participation in 2023. Experts warn renewed diplomacy could prevent a new arms race 🚀.
Global leaders are watching closely as tensions escalate. Will this proposed summit bring peace—or further uncertainty? Stay tuned. 📡
