On December 11, 2025, former U.S. President Donald Trump said the U.S. was "very close" to a Russia-Ukraine peace deal that included territorial arrangements. Trump claimed that most Ukrainians supported the plan, but Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was the only one opposing it. 🤔
This proposed deal reportedly involved giving up or swapping territory—details Trump didn't fully spell out—so it raised big questions about Ukraine's sovereignty (its right to govern itself) and security.
The Russia-Ukraine conflict, which started in 2022, continues to shape global politics and everyday lives. Supporters of a negotiated settlement point to war's heavy human and economic toll, while others insist any peace must protect Ukraine's future independence.
