MOSCOW: The Kremlin said on Tuesday it welcomed US President Donald Trump’s desire to focus on the search for a peace deal to end the fighting in Ukraine after achieving a ceasefire in Gaza and hoped he’d be able to push Kyiv toward a settlement. Addressing the Israeli Knesset a day earlier after brokering a deal between Israel and Hamas, Trump spoke of wanting to get a deal done with Iran over its nuclear program, but said he’d turn his attention to trying to end the war in Ukraine first. “… first we have to get Russia done. We gotta get that one done.

Ukraine's president praises Trump's efforts to secure Gaza ceasefire, says other wars 'can be stopped as well'.

The moment remains fragile, with Israel and Hamas still in the early stages of implementing the first phase of the U.S.-backed plan.
