Kathmandu. US President Donald Trump said he plans to speak with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin on Tuesday to end the war in Ukraine.
American officials had expressed hope that a ceasefire agreement could be reached between Ukraine and Russia within weeks after Washington proposed a halt to the three-year war after talks in Saudi Arabia.
“I think we’ll talk about Ukrainian land, power plants,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One. “I think there’s been a lot of discussion between both sides, Ukraine and Russia, on this issue. We are talking about this for the first time and discussing the settlement of some land claims.”
Washington and Kiev’s European allies have been pressuring Moscow to stop the war, but Putin has not given a clear answer. Instead, he has raised “serious questions” about the US proposal, listing a series of conditions. Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff, who met with Putin for a few hours a few days ago, told CNN that “the two presidents will have a very good and positive discussion this week.” “Perhaps Trump really expects some kind of deal to be reached in the coming weeks, and I believe that this is an important issue,” he said.
The talks between Trump and Putin will come as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accuses the Kremlin of not wanting to end the war. Zelensky said Moscow wants to “improve its position on the battlefield” before agreeing to any ceasefire.
