No NATO seat or US troops: Trump’s new roadmap to end Russia-Ukraine war
Feb 13, 2025
Once upon a time, there was a big war between two countries called Russia and Ukraine. Many people were hurt, and lots of sadness spread everywhere. A leader named Donald Trump wanted to help stop the fighting. He talked to the leaders of both countries on the phone. He believed it was time to find peace.
Trump had a long chat with President Putin from Russia. They agreed they wanted to stop the war because it was hurting many people. Trump thought their talk went really well and they might meet in a special place soon. He felt hopeful!
Then, Trump called President Zelenskyy from Ukraine. They also talked about making peace. Zelenskyy said he wanted to stop the bad things happening in the war. He and Trump discussed what they could do together to help Ukraine.
However, Trump said some things that made Zelenskyy worry. He thought Ukraine might not get back all the land it lost and might not join a group called NATO, which helps countries protect each other. Zelenskyy agreed that they needed a different plan to stay safe. He needed more help with soldiers and money to make his army strong.
Trump's team also said that other countries in Europe should help more by giving money and soldiers. But the US wouldn’t send its own soldiers to Ukraine. They wanted Europe to step up.
Many people were still hopeful about stopping the fighting. They thought that getting everyone to talk was a good start. Soon, important leaders were meeting to talk about peace.
But some experts were not so sure. They thought making peace could be difficult because the fighting was still happening. They knew it would take a lot of hard work to end the sadness and create a happy place again for everyone.
And so, the search for peace continued, with hopes shining bright, like stars in the night sky!
