Event Summary

US President Donald Trump stated on July 6, 2026, that a resolution to the Russia-Ukraine war is 'getting closer than people realize' after separate phone calls with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy over the weekend. Trump is scheduled to meet Zelenskyy on the sidelines of the NATO summit in Turkey — Ankara, Turkey, on July 8. Despite the optimistic remarks, Russia launched airstrikes on Kyiv and other regions, killing at least 28 people. Russia — Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the US position on the conflict remains consistent. Zelenskyy expressed belief that Trump views the conflict in a new light due to Ukraine's recent successes, including long-range drone strikes on Russian oil infrastructure. The calls also covered Iran and the Middle East. Trump's comments come ahead of the NATO summit in Turkey — Ankara, where Ukraine will be a key topic.
