Nov 26, 2025 02:53 am CST

US President Donald Trump has declared a Ukraine-Russia peace deal is "very close," though European leaders remain skeptical as fighting continues in Ukraine. The revised US proposal, now more favorable to Ukrainian interests, includes increasing the cap on Ukraine's future military forces to 800,000. Despite "tremendous progress" reported by negotiators, French President Macron sees "no Russian willingness" for a ceasefire, while missile attacks on Kyiv have continued unabated.
