Both Russia-Ukraine are making efforts to end the war. Russia’s President Vladimir Putin had a phone conversation with US President Donald Trump on Tuesday (19 August 2025) after Trump-Jalenski’s meeting. According to a report by Politico, Putin offered to hold a meeting with Jailonski in Russia. The offer was made when Ukrainian President Volodimir Jailonsky and a delegation of European leaders reached Washington to meet Trump.

Sources related to the case made it clear that things related to Putin-Jalensky’s meeting should not be taken seriously. An official said that yesterday everyone dismissed this suggestion and sidelined it, but today the media is making it a big issue.
