Trump, Putin Launch Ukraine Peace Talks.

President Trump and Russian President Putin agreed today to immediate Ukraine peace negotiations, with U.S.-Russia talks starting Friday in Munich.

The U.S. signaled openness to accepting Russian-held territories and ruled out Ukraine’s NATO membership—key Kremlin demands.

The breakthrough followed a prisoner swap involving American Marc Fogel.

While Trump called the deal “historic,” Ukrainian officials remained cautious amid concerns over territorial concessions.

Critics argue the move risks legitimizing Russia’s invasion as Western allies monitor rapid diplomatic developments.
