Russian President Vladimir Putin has expressed support for U.S. President Donald Trump’s ongoing efforts to achieve peace in the Middle East, calling them a “historic” step if successfully implemented. Speaking at a press conference during his visit to Dushanbe, Tajikistan, Putin said Trump is “definitely working” on complex global issues, including resolving the long-running Gaza conflict.

“A Historic Event,” Says Putin

Putin described Trump’s peace initiatives as ambitious but potentially transformative. “He [Trump] is definitely trying, definitely working on these issues. The most striking example is the situation in the Middle East. If we succeed in completing everything that Donald aspired to, everything that he talked about, and what he is trying to do, it will be a historic event. It is just a historical event,” Putin said.

Russia Offers to Support Implementation

Putin emphasized that Russia could play a constructive role in supporting the implementation of peace agreements in Gaza. He noted that Moscow’s participation could help maintain stability and ensure that the commitments made during peace negotiations are honored.

“I think Russia has something to say and something to offer to resolve the issues that will arise one way or another during the implementation of the agreements reached,” Putin said. He added that given the level of trust between Russia and the Palestinians, Moscow’s involvement “could be in demand.”

Russia’s Position on Gaza

The Russian president reaffirmed that his government supports peaceful settlement efforts and dialogue-based solutions to the Gaza conflict. Putin underlined that lasting peace in the region requires cooperation among all key international players, including the U.S., Russia, and regional partners.

Putin’s remarks come amid intensified diplomatic activity in the Middle East, where multiple countries are engaging in talks to de-escalate tensions. His statements highlight Russia’s intent to remain an active participant in regional peace efforts and to align with international initiatives aimed at stability in Gaza.
