Trump and Putin to Have Crucial Conversation on Ukraine Conflict
High-stakes diplomatic dialogue between the two leaders aimed at ending three years of warfare in Ukraine.
President Trump and President Vladimir Putin are scheduled to speak on Monday regarding the ongoing war in Ukraine, marking an important moment in a series of recent diplomatic efforts to bring an end to the three-year conflict. The call, anticipated to occur at 10 a.m. Eastern, will be their second publicly acknowledged conversation since Trump’s second term began. The first discussion in February was hailed in Moscow as a sign of the West's diminishing resolve against Russia's military actions in Ukraine.
"Hopefully, it will be a productive day, a ceasefire will take place, and this very violent war, a war that should have never happened, will end," Trump shared on his social media platform, Truth Social, prior to the call. Meanwhile, Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov confirmed the call and expressed gratitude for U.S. diplomacy, acknowledging that peaceful resolutions would be preferable to ongoing hostilities.
Trump's approach since assuming office has involved a mix of threats and incentives, yet both Russia and Ukraine remain poised to continue their positions, each believing time is on their side. The upcoming dialogue between these two powerful leaders could prove critical in determining the fate of numerous lives affected by this protracted conflict.
