Trump remains engaged in Russia-Ukraine peace efforts

White House confirms President Trump is deeply involved in diplomatic efforts to end the Russia-Ukraine war, though no calls with Putin are scheduled.

"The president remains deeply involved - Karoline Leavitt"

Washington, Jan 27

The White House said President Donald Trump remains closely engaged in efforts to end the Russia-Ukraine war, even though no direct calls with Russian President Vladimir Putin are currently scheduled.

Addressing reporters at a regular White House briefing on Monday, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the president continues to oversee diplomatic efforts aimed at moving the conflict toward a negotiated settlement. "The president remains deeply involved," she said, adding that he is being "apprised by his advisors" on developments related to the talks.

Leavitt noted that there were no scheduled calls at this time between Trump and Putin. "I'm not tracking any calls scheduled for this week," she said, while underscoring that the administration's diplomatic engagement remained active.

She pointed to recent multilateral discussions involving US officials as part of the broader peace push. According to Leavitt, President Trump has tasked senior aides with sustained diplomatic outreach to bring both sides closer to the negotiating table.

Leavitt also referenced recent meetings held by the administration's special envoys, describing them as "historic" in scope, with both parties involved in the conflict participating in discussions aimed at ending the war. She said the president's team had worked to "move the ball closer toward peace."

The press secretary emphasised that President Trump has not abandoned the peace effort. "The president is not giving up on the peace process," she said, adding that diplomacy remains a priority of his foreign policy agenda.

The Russia-Ukraine war is now in its fourth year. President Trump is making a serious effort to broker a ceasefire or political settlement between the two countries. Washington has played a central role in shaping diplomatic and security responses to the conflict since it began.

For India and other countries closely following the evolving geopolitical situation, US engagement in the Russia-Ukraine conflict continues to affect global security, energy markets, and the broader balance of power in Europe.

"Deeply involved" but no calls scheduled? Sounds like a lot of diplomatic talk without concrete action. The war has already disrupted global food and fuel supplies so much. We felt it directly with inflation. Just hoping for a real ceasefire soon, for everyone's sake. 🙏

Good to see the US staying engaged. A prolonged conflict is in no one's interest. From an Indian perspective, stability in Europe means stability in energy markets and trade routes. That's crucial for our growing economy. Hope the "historic" meetings lead to something tangible.

While I appreciate the effort, the approach feels a bit inconsistent. One day it's tough talk, the next it's peace pushes. For a conflict of this scale, clarity and consistency from Washington are key. The world, including partners like India, needs predictable US leadership on this.

The article rightly mentions the impact on global security and energy. India has navigated this situation with a lot of diplomatic dexterity so far. Whatever peace formula emerges, it must respect the sovereignty of nations—a principle very important to us. Jai Hind!

Honestly, after four years, any movement towards peace is welcome news. The human cost is tragic. Hope the diplomatic outreach is sincere and not just for headlines. As a common citizen here, we just want stable petrol prices and no new global crises!
