President Trump said he met with Russian envoy Dmitry Dmitriev today and that the U.S. is “very close to settling” the Russia-Ukraine war, describing the emerging deal as a major agreement that will involve all of Europe. The remarks, relayed via First Squawk, mark one of the administration’s most explicit signals yet that a negotiated end to the conflict is near. The headline carries weight for markets because a settlement could reshape European energy flows, defense spending and risk sentiment across the continent. Traders will watch for follow-through details on sanctions relief, security guarantees and reconstruction financing, and for any confirmation from Moscow or European capitals.
