U.S. President Donald Trump said on Saturday that measures to prevent further escalation in the Russia-Ukraine conflict are "somewhat under control."
In an interview aboard Air Force One with Clay Travis, founder of the sports website Outkick, Trump stressed the importance of "rational discussions" and maintaining strong personal relationships with both Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy as key elements in negotiating an end to the conflict.
Last week, Trump held separate discussions with both leaders in an effort to negotiate a ceasefire that would bring a temporary halt to hostilities—a critical step given that the full-scale war began when Putin ordered an invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Although Trump aimed for a comprehensive 30-day ceasefire, the talks resulted instead in an agreement for a pause: Putin agreed to cease Russian attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure for 30 days, and Zelenskiy indicated he would accept a similar pause.
Trump highlighted that such measured approaches, combined with direct dialogue between the leaders, could pave the way for a more sustainable resolution. “Maintaining good relationships and engaging in rational discussions is essential,” he said, suggesting that personal rapport between world leaders plays a crucial role in de-escalating tensions.
While these developments fall short of a full ceasefire, the temporary pause in targeted attacks may help stabilize a conflict that has drawn global concern. As both sides continue to negotiate the terms of peace, the administration’s focus remains on preventing further escalation and setting the stage for future diplomatic breakthroughs.
