G7 leaders at the summit express cautious optimism about the prospect of a Ukraine-Russia peace deal after US President Donald Trump meets with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy. Trump says the meeting was “very good” and calls on Russia to make peace with Ukraine, remarks that several outlets report helped lift the mood among G7 governments. In parallel, Zelenskiy tells other leaders that G7 participants agree Russia is not “winning” the war, a point cited by multiple sources as part of the shift toward a potential negotiated outcome. Several reports frame the comments as meaningfully positive, while also emphasizing the optimism is cautious rather than confirmed. The articles also note that the war enters its fifth year, making any renewed diplomatic momentum significant to European and US leaders. Across coverage, the common thread is that the Trump-Zelenskiy meeting and the subsequent discussions within the G7 increase expectations that an agreement could still be pursued, though no specific deal, terms, or timelines are announced in the reports provided.
