From Phone Call to Summit? The Anatomy of a US-Led Peace Push

Date:

The anatomy of the latest U.S.-led peace push for Ukraine reveals a rapid progression from a single phone call to a full-blown summit plan. This accelerated diplomatic sequence is being driven by the Trump administration in a bid to force a resolution.
The process began with high-level meetings in Washington between President Trump, President Zelenskyy, and European leaders, which laid the groundwork. The pivotal moment, according to the White House, was the subsequent phone call between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
It was in this call that Putin allegedly agreed to meet Zelenskyy within two weeks. This single conversation has become the foundation for the entire initiative. The White House is now building on it, working “as we speak” with both Moscow and Kyiv to handle the logistics.
The final stage is the summit itself, which is still uncertain due to Russia’s cautious public stance. If it happens, the agenda is set: Zelenskyy will discuss territory with Putin, while allies finalize security guarantees, a plan that might now include a U.S. air support component.
