Former US President Donald Trump has cast doubt on the prospect of an immediate resolution to the Ukraine war, declaring that 'there's no deal until there's a deal' following his latest discussions with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Speaking after the talks, Trump emphasised that any agreement between the two nations remains uncertain until formalised. 'Words are just words—until signatures are on paper, nothing is guaranteed,' he stated.
High-Stakes Diplomacy
The meeting between Trump and Putin has drawn global attention, as the conflict in Ukraine continues to escalate. Observers had hoped the dialogue might pave the way for a ceasefire, but Trump's remarks suggest significant hurdles remain.
Global Reactions
International leaders have responded with cautious optimism, though many remain wary of Putin's intentions. A European diplomat, speaking anonymously, noted: 'The devil is in the details—we need concrete commitments, not just promises.'
Meanwhile, Ukrainian officials have reiterated their demand for a complete withdrawal of Russian forces before any negotiations can proceed.
