For about two hours they talked to him about her. The first reactions came from the Russian president, who said that efforts to end the war are on the right track.
At the same time, he pointed out that Moscow is ready to work with Ukraine on a memorandum on the future peace agreement. Putin thanked Trump for supporting the resumption of direct talks between Moscow and Kiev and said Trump had noted Russia’s support for peace, although the key question is “how to move on to peace”.
“We have agreed with the United States President that Russia will propose and is ready to work with the Ukrainian side for a memorandum on a possible future peace agreement, setting a number of positions, such as the settlement authorities, the timetable of a possible peacekeeping agreement.”
If the appropriate agreements were reached, then there could be a ceasefire, Putin said, adding that direct talks between Russia and Ukraine “give a reason to believe that we are generally on the right track”.
“I would like to note that, in general, Russia’s position is clear. The main thing for us is to eliminate the deeper causes of this crisis, “Putin said.
“We just have to determine the most effective ways to move on to peace.”
Trump: “Russia and Ukraine will start negotiations immediately”
For his part, the US president, after concluding a conversation with Putin, noted that “Russia and Ukraine will start negotiations with the aim of achieving a ceasefire.”
The announcement on Truth Social
“I just finished a two -hour telephone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin. I think he went very well. Russia and Ukraine will begin immediately negotiations for a ceasefire and, even more importantly, to end the war. The terms for this will negotiate between the two sides, as is the right thing, because they know details of the negotiation that no one else knows. The tone and spirit of the discussion were excellent. If it weren’t, I would say it now and not later.
Russia wants to launch large -scale trade with the United States when this devastating “blood bath” is over, and I agree. There is a huge opportunity for Russia to create a large number of jobs and wealth. Its potential is unlimited. The same is true for Ukraine, which can benefit significantly through trade when rebuilding its country.
Negotiations between Russia and Ukraine will begin immediately. I have already announced it to Ukraine President Volodimir Zelenski, European Commission President Ursula von der Laien, to French President Emmanuel Macron, to Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, in the German Meloni Meloni. Stubb, during a phone call I had with them immediately after calling with Putin.
The Vatican, as represented by the Pope, said he would be particularly interested in hosting the negotiations.
Let the process start! “
Preceded by Trump – Zelenski communication
Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelenski had a short telephone conversation with the US president before Donald Trump’s two -hour communication with Vladimir Putin, a source said.
Trump phoned Zelenski “for a few minutes” before his telephone conversation with the Kremlin leader, the source told Reuters.
Zelenski: Open the possibility of meeting
Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelenski has announced tonight that Kiev and his partners are considering organizing a meeting with the participation of leaders of Ukraine, Russia, the United States, the countries of the European Union and Britain as part of his efforts.
Speaking to reporters in Kiev after two telephone conversations he had today with US President Donald Trump, Zelenski said he hoped the meeting would take place as soon as possible.
The meeting could be hosted by Turkey, the Vatican or Switzerland, he added.
Earlier, the Russian State News Agency RIA, citing a statement by Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, reported that there is currently no meeting of Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald.
Trump is open for a meeting with Putin, but “everything” stays on the table, even secondary sanctions, the White House added.
Moscow and Washington agreed to normalize their relationships
Russian presidents Vladimir Putin and the US Donald Trump today fought in favor of “normalizing” their countries’ relations, the Kremlin announced after a “two -hour and five -minute” phone call between the two leaders.
“The two presidents have been in favor of continuing the normalization of (bilateral) relations,” Putin’s diplomatic adviser Yuri Usakov said by telephone reporters. According to Usakov, a “exchange of prisoners” is being prepared, 9 on one side and so many others on the other.
Putin and Trump “discussed many issues”, including Iran’s. Putin welcomed the progress in talks between Tehran and Washington on the Iranian nuclear program and offered Moscow’s help.
Usakov added that Putin also greeted the results of Trump’s visit to the Middle East last week.
During this “sincere debate”, as Usakov described it, the two leaders “agreed to continue the dialogue on all issues”.
This discussion was “meaningful and very useful” by the Kremlin Advisor.
