U.S. President Donald Trump announced he could meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin "very soon" to discuss the Ukraine conflict. Trump believes Putin genuinely wants to end the fighting, despite skepticism from U.S. officials. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is leading a U.S. delegation to talks in Saudi Arabia aimed at addressing the war. He emphasized that resolving the conflict will require more than one meeting and that nothing has been finalized yet. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed concerns about Russia's intentions and criticized the idea of negotiations without Ukraine's involvement. Rubio acknowledged the complexity of the situation, stating that one phone call does not equate to peace.
