15.12.2025The Day Trump Declared Ukraine Settlement Near
The day's narrative largely centered on the Ukraine conflict and ongoing diplomatic efforts. Morning reports detailed extensive Ukrainian drone attacks across Russian regions, with 130 drones reportedly shot down over 11 regions and the Caspian Sea overnight, and up to 19 near Moscow.

Later in the day, the focus shifted to negotiations. US-Ukraine talks in Berlin were described as difficult by some, though US sources highlighted "significant progress." Notably, US-Ukraine security guarantees similar to NATO's Article 5 were reported, with a potential exchange for Ukraine ceding Donbas. A key development was Donald Trump's assertion in the evening that a settlement in Ukraine was "closer than ever."
