Donald Trump said a deal to end Russia's war in Ukraine was "closer than ever" after European leaders proposed a multinational force during Berlin talks that followed earlier meetings in The Hague and Berlin.The Berlin meeting included Volodymyr Zelensky, Jared Kushner, Steve Witkoff and Friedrich Merz and produced a joint statement calling for robust security guarantees, a U.S.-led ceasefire monitoring mechanism and a peacetime Ukrainian force of about 800,000 troops, while negotiators remain divided over territory Kyiv might have to cede.Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov and Vladimir Putin have signaled continued insistence on territorial demands and Moscow has yet to accept the proposals, while earlier drafts from The Hague and Berlin proposed postwar accountability, reconstruction and using roughly €210 billion of frozen Russian assets to help finance Ukraine's recovery.
