Trump claims that “significant progress” has been made in the “settlement of the conflict” between Russia and Ukraine.

At a recent dinner with Central Asian leaders, U.S. President Donald Trump once again claimed “notable progress” in his efforts to stop the war between Russia and Ukraine. It sounded loud — like a promise of peace that millions have been waiting for so long.

Eight Conflicts in Eight Months

Trump proudly noted that his team managed to resolve eight armed conflicts in eight months. Among those mentioned were Armenia and Azerbaijan, India and Pakistan, Israel and Iran, Egypt and Ethiopia, as well as Israel’s fight with Hamas.

Nevertheless, many experts point out that some of these confrontations were either in a lull stage or required exclusively political dialogue rather than military efforts. The list presented by the U.S. State Department as proof of success sparked debates and questions about the real results.

Diplomacy on Thin Ice

The example of India and Pakistan deserves special attention. Washington managed to achieve only a ceasefire, without reaching the signing of a final peace treaty. This showed how fragile the international balance remains even with active U.S. intervention.

Ukraine and Russia: A Test for Washington

The key challenge for Trump remains the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. The President insists that negotiations are going well, but the path to sustainable peace remains long.

On July 29, he acknowledged that the settlement “will take time,” adding that he has repeatedly spoken with Vladimir Putin. According to him, “this issue is of particular importance to Russia.”

And already on September 9, Trump clarified: achieving the end of the war turned out to be “much more difficult than initially expected.”

In Search of Peace and Recognition

These statements reflect the ambitions and limitations of American diplomacy. Each new statement by Trump demonstrates not only his desire to strengthen his status as a peacemaker but also the reality in which global conflicts are not resolved with a single call.

Ukraine and Israel, South Asia and the Middle East — all these are elements of a complex geopolitical mosaic where every word of leaders can change the balance of power.
