Trump Says Russia and Ukraine to 'Immediately' Begin Ceasefire Talks After Two-Hour Call With Putin
- President Donald Trump stated on Monday that following his extensive two-hour discussion with Vladimir Putin, negotiations aimed at establishing a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine will commence without delay.
- This announcement follows recent talks in Turkey between Russian and Ukrainian delegations that led to a limited prisoner exchange but did not stop the ongoing fighting that began with Russia's invasion in February 2022.
- Trump expressed frustration with both Putin and Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, indicated hopes for a peaceful resolution, and emphasized that the conditions for a ceasefire will be negotiated directly by the two parties.
- Trump characterized his conversation with Putin as "excellent," and Putin described their discussion as "very informative and very frank." Meanwhile, Russian officials expressed willingness to continue talks aimed at halting the hostilities and exploring a framework for a future peace agreement.
- These developments suggest a potential opening for ceasefire talks, though Vice President JD Vance noted the US may cease efforts if Russia does not negotiate seriously, highlighting ongoing uncertainties.
