US President Donald Trump plans to speak with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday to discuss a potential ceasefire and end to the war in Ukraine.
US President Donald Trump announced his intention to speak with Russia n President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday to discuss a potential end to the war in Ukraine . This follows positive discussions between US and Russia n officials in Moscow . 'I'll be speaking to President Putin on Tuesday. A lot of work's been done over the weekend,' Trump stated to reporters aboard Air Force One during his return flight to the Washington area from Florida. 'We want to see if we can bring that war to an end.
Maybe we can, maybe we can't, but I think we have a very good chance,' he added. \Trump is seeking Putin's support for a 30-day ceasefire proposal that Ukraine accepted last week. Despite the ceasefire proposal, both sides continued to engage in heavy aerial strikes throughout the weekend. Russia further intensified its efforts to expel Ukrainian forces from their long-held position in the western Russian region of Kursk. When questioned about potential concessions under consideration in the ceasefire negotiations, Trump responded: 'We'll be talking about land. We'll be talking about power plants.'\He continued, 'I think we have a lot of it already discussed very much by both sides, Ukraine and Russia. We're already talking about that, dividing up certain assets.' Trump revealed that significant progress had been made on the issue over the weekend, which he spent in Florida at his residence. He returned to Joint Base Andrews, just outside Washington, in the early hours of Monday morning and subsequently went back to the White House. Trump, who has deviated from established US policy by aligning closer with Moscow, has characterized Ukraine as being more challenging to work with compared to Russia. Last month, he had a contentious meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, which concluded with the Ukrainian leader leaving the White House prematurely. However, Ukraine's acceptance of the proposed ceasefire places the onus on Russia to comply with Trump's demands and will serve as a test of the US president's more favorable view of Putin, who launched Russia's invasion of Ukraine three years ago.
