The Russia-Ukraine war continues to shake the world agenda. Recently, US President Donald Trump's strong criticisms of Putin have drawn attention.

Trump stated that Putin is 'playing with fire' and expressed that if it weren't for him, Russia would be in a much worse situation. These statements have resonated on the international stage.

Medvedev's response to Trump highlighted the danger of a new world war. Could this change the course of the war?

Putin's ceasefire proposal was deemed hopeful yet lacking by Trump. This raises questions about how the relationship between the two leaders will evolve.

Trump's potential meeting with Putin could be a glimmer of hope for ending the war. However, Putin's stance will determine the course of these discussions.
