US Wants Ukraine-Russia Peace By June So Trump Can Focus On Midterms

KEY POINTS

  • Ukrainian President Zelensky said the US wants a peace deal with Russia by June to shift focus before midterm elections.
  • Senior Russian and Ukrainian officials held talks in Abu Dhabi mediated by Trump's envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.
  • Future talks may occur in Miami, with the US confirming active involvement in ceasefire monitoring and ongoing security guarantee discussions.

Volodymyr Zelensky twirled the diplomatic baton, revealing the US wants Russia-Ukraine peace wrapped by June—right before Trump redirects his superpower-level attention span to congressional midterms. Talks streamed live from Abu Dhabi’s peace lounge, with envoy duo Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner impressively mediating away from their real estate empires. Russia switched from 'history class' rhetoric to actual proposals like a reluctant art student finally turning in homework, grudgingly considering a Donbas economic zone. Zelensky confirmed ceasefire monitoring might become a US reality show, while the elusive security guarantees wait to be signed—because apparently, trust is best sealed 'roughly at the same time.' Miami is next on the docket, because if there’s war peace, it should definitely come with beach vibes.
