Trump and Putin Scheduled to Discuss Potential Ukraine Ceasefire

US Envoy Anticipates Positive Talks as Tensions Continue in Ukraine Conflict


As the three-year war in Ukraine persists, US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin are expected to hold a significant call to discuss a possible ceasefire deal, as confirmed by US envoy Steve Witkoff.



US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin are slated to speak in the upcoming days regarding efforts to establish a ceasefire in Ukraine's ongoing conflict, which has persisted for three years. US envoy Steve Witkoff, who recently met with Putin in Moscow, expressed optimism about the outcome of the discussions, stating that he anticipates a "really good and positive discussion this week."

Witkoff mentioned to CNN that there is ongoing engagement with Ukrainian officials, emphasizing the US's advisory role regarding potential strategies. Last week, the US and Ukraine collectively proposed a 30-day ceasefire to Russia, which Putin indicated he would support, though he also attached stringent conditions for peace.

Witkoff conveyed his belief in a hopeful resolution within the coming weeks, noting that teams of US negotiators plan to convene with counterparts from both Ukraine and Russia soon. Reflecting on Trump's past commitments during his election campaign to end the war "on day one," he cited the president's immediate involvement, detailing how he briefed Trump and key advisors shortly after his meeting with Putin concluded.

While discussing the complexities of the situation, Witkoff refrained from addressing questions about Russian-occupied territories in Ukraine, where Russia currently exerts control over approximately one-fifth of the nation. Nevertheless, Witkoff highlighted Trump's active engagement in the diplomatic discussions, suggesting that the White House is closely monitoring developments in real-time.

As the diplomatic dialogue progresses, the stakes remain high in the pursuit of a peaceful resolution to the Ukraine war, with both leaders facing pressures from their respective constituents. The outcome of their forthcoming talks could play a pivotal role in shaping the trajectory of the conflict.
