Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky rejected Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban's proposal to mediate Ukraine-Russia peace talks, preferring direct discussions with key leaders, including U.S. President-elect Donald Trump. Orban suggested a Christmas ceasefire and prisoner exchange, but Zelensky dismissed his ability to influence Russian President Vladimir Putin, labeling the proposal as self-serving. Meanwhile, Trump vowed to resolve the conflict swiftly, while Russia maintained its stance that Ukraine must recognize territorial changes before talks.

In a surprising turn, former U.S. President Donald Trump is reportedly considering a peace plan for Ukraine, which could reshape the current trajectory of the conflict. The plan, proposed by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, suggests a potential Christmas ceasefire and a large-scale prisoner swap between Russia and Ukraine. This plan has already garnered attention, with talks between Trump and Orbán taking place behind closed doors. The proposal comes amid increasing international tensions and calls for diplomatic solutions. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has expressed skepticism, rejecting the plan as a move that undermines EU unity. Could this Christmas ceasefire be the breakthrough that ends the Ukraine war, or is it just another fleeting diplomatic effort?
