What steps has the Trump administration taken towards peace in the Russia-Ukraine war?

The Trump administration has initiated direct negotiations with Russian officials to foster peace in the Ukraine conflict. Secretary Rubio, National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, and special envoy Steve Witkoff engaged with Russians in what was described as a 'monumental step towards peace' - the first of many such diplomatic efforts. President Trump has maintained direct correspondence with Ukrainian leadership including President Zelensky, while also communicating with European allies such as France's President Macron. The administration is ensuring all parties are heard, emphasizing the necessity of engaging both sides of the conflict to effectively negotiate peace, contrasting with the previous administration's approach which allegedly lacked diplomatic efforts.
