Russian presidents, Vladimir Putin, and American, Donald Trump, will address Tuesday by the Pacific arrangement to the Ukrainian conflict and the normalization of their bilateral relations, as the Kremlin reported today.
“There are many issues from the normalization of bilateral relations to the Ukrainian arrangement. All this will be treated by the two presidents,” said Dmitri Peskov, presidential spokesman, at his daily telephone press conference.
Peskov, who has specified that the conversation will take place between 16.00 and 18.00 local time (between 14:00 and 16:00 Spanish peninsular time), added: “They will speak as much as they consider convenient.” As for the preparations for the call, he has admitted the eve that they took “several days” and included consultations with the National Security Advisor of the White House, Mike Waltz.
Putin showed last week willing to address with Trump the doubts that the 30 -day truce proposal in Ukraine wakes up, which kyiv has already accepted. In response to the proposal, he assured that Russia supports a truce, but sees many problems in the application and verification of a high fire, and time to prevent kyiv from taking advantage of regrouping and rearming.
In this regard, Trump said: “I think he will agree. I really believe it. I think I know him quite well and agree.” If you do not accept it, he added, it will be “bad news for the world, because many people are dying.”
Trump asked Putin to pity the Ukrainian troops that still resist in the Russian region of Kursk, to which the Russian leader assured that he will forgive their lives if they depose their weapons and give themselves, although they considered them “terrorists.”
Both leaders spoke for the first time on February 12, a conversation in which they agreed to start a negotiating process to end the conflict in Ukraine. Experts point out that the result of the telephone conversation between Putin and Trump will depend on the decision to celebrate a summit in neutral territory.
