Trump Insists Ukraine-Russia Peace Deal Is Close, but Mistrust of Putin Raises Eyebrows Worldwide

President Donald Trump expressed optimism that a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia is near, citing 'very good' relations with Russian President Vladimir Putin, but security experts remain skeptical due to mistrust of Putin's intentions. The prospects for an agreement have been dampened by ongoing tensions in the region and concerns over Moscow's actions in Eastern Europe. Despite Trump's confidence, many believe a deal would require significant concessions from Ukraine and Russia. Some critics question whether Putin is truly committed to finding a peaceful resolution.
