This has shaken the entire world as Russia and Ukraine are involved in a bloodshed for years and have just refused any possibilities of having a ceasefire. The tensions between the two countries were just escalating until President Trump took an initiative to end the war. The announcement  has also sent shockwaves across the global diplomatic landscape as the President stated that he had immediately informed the key leaders across Russia and European countries regarding the new development in Russia-Ukraine war.  

These include Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, French President Emmanuel Macron, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, and Finnish President Alexander Stubb. He further stated that the Vatican is ready to participate in the negotiations and push the war towards an end.  

“The Vatican, as represented by the Pope, has stated that it would be very interested to hosting the negotiations,” President Trump said.  

In his statement President Trump also highlighted the economic prospects for the two nations once peace is restored. He said there are tremendous opportunities for Russia to create massive amounts of jobs and wealth, while stating that the country’s potential is ‘Unlimited.’ He also emphasized that Ukraine could benefit from international trade and investment during the post-war reconstruction.  

While an official statement from the Russian and  Ukrainian officials is yet pending, President Trumps’ tweet has garnered a lot of positive attention across the internet. Notably, the President of USA, has recently managed to stop the escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, as the two countries declared a war over acts of terrorism. The war lasted a few days, before President Trump had a discussion with the leaders of the two countries to immediately stop the war and announce a ceasefire.
