Trump signals US disengagement from Ukraine war

Following a call with Vladimir Putin, President Trump signaled the US would withdraw from mediating the Ukraine war, alarming allies and Ukraine. This shift suggests a potential abandonment of his campaign promise to end the conflict. Trump's conversation with Putin focused on future trade, with no pressure for a ceasefire. He suggested the Vatican as a mediator and indicated he wouldn't apply further pressure on Moscow. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy expressed concern over the US disengagement. This move follows weeks of signals from the US government about disengagement. Experts suggest Trump prioritizes normalizing relations with Russia. Meanwhile, fighting continues, with Russia making gains in eastern Ukraine.
