US Pushes for Peace in Ukraine as Fighting Intensifies

Kyiv, Ukraine — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says the United States wants the war with Russia to end by June 2026, revealing that a fresh round of peace negotiations is being planned in the United States next week.

According to Zelensky, Washington has invited both Ukrainian and Russian negotiating teams to meet — likely in Miami — for talks aimed at reaching a peace agreement and ending the prolonged conflict. Ukraine has confirmed its participation in the proposed discussions.

There has been no immediate official response from Washington or Moscow. However, US President Donald Trump has consistently pushed for an end to the conflict since returning to office.
