Trump to Speak With Putin and Zelensky on Monday About Ceasefire
Former U.S. President Donald Trump announced that he will speak with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Monday, as efforts to negotiate a ceasefire between the two warring nations continue.
According to reports, Russia has made new demands prior to agreeing to any ceasefire deal. A Ukrainian official with close ties to the negotiation team revealed that Moscow is insisting Ukraine withdraw its forces from territories Russia claims as its own.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov confirmed that preparations are underway for a phone conversation between Trump and President Putin.
In a post shared on his social media platform, Trump wrote:
> "On Monday at 10 a.m., I will speak with President Putin. The main agenda is to stop the ongoing bloodshed that continues to claim over 5,000 Russian and Ukrainian military lives each week and severely disrupts trade."
Trump also stated that he plans to hold a follow-up conversation with Ukrainian President Zelensky, and further consult with key NATO members regarding the ongoing situation.
The call comes amid rising hopes of a diplomatic breakthrough, though both sides remain far apart on key issues.
