This was stated by US President Donald Trump during a meeting with French leader Emmanuel Macron. ### "We can do something" According to the American president, on June 14 he held productive phone calls with both Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Vladimir Putin. Trump expressed confidence that both sides are ready for dialogue and emphasized the US willingness to take on the role of a mediator. "As I see it, we might be able to do something on this issue. Really do something. I think they are both open to it. Now that this is over, we will focus on this and see if we can bring it to a conclusion," Trump noted. ### The cost of war The White House leader paid special attention to human casualties. According to his data, about 25,000 people die monthly in the course of hostilities β€” predominantly military personnel. "This should not be happening," he emphasized. ### Contact with Kyiv and the Kremlin Earlier, an RBC-Ukraine source reported that the call between Trump and Zelenskyy lasted about 30 minutes and covered all key aspects of the conflict. The Ukrainian president later confirmed the fact of the conversation, adding that specific steps to bring peace closer were discussed right now. The leaders agreed on a personal meeting on the sidelines of the G7 summit. Meanwhile, Kyiv had previously proposed to Moscow to organize a meeting between Zelenskyy and Putin within the framework of the same summit, but received an indefinite response from the Kremlin. ### A new stage of diplomacy The shift of US focus from the Middle East to Europe could become a turning point in the development of events. If Trump can truly mobilize both sides for negotiations, it will open the way to substantive de-escalation β€” or, at the very least, a pause in hostilities.
