On May 27, 2025, Russian President Vladimir Putin dismissed U.S. President Donald Trump's proposal to host Russia-Ukraine peace talks at the Vatican, suggesting Geneva as a more suitable venue. The Kremlin characterized Trump's recent criticisms, including labeling Putin as "crazy" and warning he is "playing with fire," as emotionally driven. Despite Trump's efforts, including a two-hour call with Putin and appointing Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg as a special envoy, Russia continues its aggressive military actions in Ukraine, launching extensive drone and missile attacks. The Kremlin maintains that national interests take precedence, indicating a complex and strained diplomatic landscape. (PC: AFP)
