Donald Trump accelerated talks between Russia and Ukraine, prompting faster diplomatic movement. Rapid negotiation momentum has emerged, driven by high-level interventions. Peace should not be secured at any cost, as a durable settlement requires safeguards. Successful resolution will demand extensive 'hand‑holding' and diplomatic management between Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky. Implementation phases will need trust-building, verification mechanisms, and external support to reassure both sides. Careful facilitation and sustained engagement will be essential to translate negotiations into lasting stability. Attention to humanitarian consequences and security guarantees will shape terms. International partners must remain engaged to monitor compliance and assist reconstruction efforts.
Former taoiseach Bertie Ahern has credited US president Donald Trump with the speed at which he is progressing talks between Russia and Ukraine.
However, the former leader of Fianna Fáil warned peace should not come at all costs and said there is going to have to be "a lot of hand holding" between Russian president Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky.
