The United States is actively exploring strategies to end the Russia-Ukraine war, with America’s envoy, Keith Kellogg, reportedly drafting options for President Donald Trump.
According to Semafor, Kellogg has discussed these plans with U.S. allies in recent meetings, though he has denied having a proposal ready for the Munich Security Conference.
Meanwhile, reports from Bloomberg suggest that U.S. allies had expected a plan to be unveiled in Germany, further fueling speculation about Washington’s efforts to broker peace.
Trump reaffirmed his commitment to ending the war, telling reporters aboard Air Force One, “We have to get that war ended.”
He also hinted at direct discussions with Russian President Vladimir Putin, stating, “I’ve had it. Let’s just say I’ve had it… And I expect to have many more conversations.”
However, the Kremlin remains vague, with officials neither confirming nor denying whether any discussions between the two leaders have taken place.
U.S. National Security Advisor Mike Waltz added that “there certainly are a lot of sensitive conversations going on,” suggesting that Trump might use economic measures, including sanctions and tariffs, to push Russia toward a resolution.
Putin has previously indicated that any peace deal would require Ukraine to recognize Russia’s territorial claims over four regions, some of which remain outside Moscow’s control.
Moreover, he insists that Kyiv must abandon its NATO aspirations.
Despite these conditions, he is reportedly open to discussions with Trump, although he refuses to make significant territorial concessions.
The uncertainty surrounding these negotiations highlights the complexity of reaching a lasting resolution.
With growing anticipation over the U.S. strategy, the global community remains watchful.
While Trump has repeatedly expressed his determination to negotiate peace, the path forward remains unclear.
The involvement of key diplomatic figures, including Kellogg, signals Washington’s intent to pursue a solution, yet the challenges ahead suggest that diplomacy alone may not be enough to bring the war to an end.
