In a late-night diplomatic move straight out of a political thriller, Russian President Vladimir Putin reportedly messaged former U.S. President Donald Trump via special envoy Steve Witkoff about a potential Ukraine ceasefire. The Kremlin confirmed Friday that the leaders share “overall solidarity” on the issue—but warns there’s still work ahead.
🕯️ Midnight Diplomacy in Moscow
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov revealed Putin and Trump’s envoy huddled in Moscow for urgent talks, sparking whispers of “cautious optimism” about a resolution. While details remain under wraps, the exchange hints at backchannel efforts to ease tensions in Europe’s deadliest conflict since WWII.

Analysts are split: Could this be a breakthrough, or just geopolitical theater? With Ukraine maintaining its stance against territorial concessions, the proposal’s viability remains unclear.
