Trump claims he can broker Russia-Ukraine truce as India urges peace

Donald Trump says today he could broker a Russia-Ukraine truce as India steps up calls for peace, according to Nikkei Asia. The claim underscores how the war’s endgame is becoming a live issue in global diplomacy and U.S. politics. India’s messaging reflects its bid to balance ties with Moscow while signaling support for dialogue, a stance closely watched in Washington and European capitals.

Nikkei Asia reports he offered no detailed plan, and his remarks track earlier assertions that he could quickly bring the parties to talks. The outlet notes New Delhi has reiterated calls for dialogue and de-escalation, while immediate reactions from Kyiv, Moscow, and the White House were not cited. Watch for formal responses and any concrete framework from Trump or Indian officials on prospective mediation. [Developing. This article will be updated.]
