U.S. and Russia Engage in Peace Talks Amid Ongoing Conflict in Ukraine
Donald Trump indicates potential agreement components before a scheduled call with Vladimir Putin, as battlefield reports highlight ongoing casualties.
Former U.S. President Donald Trump announced that he has reached agreement on 'numerous elements' regarding a potential peace deal in Ukraine prior to a scheduled phone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Trump stated on his social media platform, TruthSocial, that while considerable progress has been made, many aspects remain unresolved.
He highlighted the urgency of addressing the conflict, noting that an estimated 2,500 soldiers are killed weekly on both sides.
Trump expressed anticipation for the discussion with Putin, aiming to bring an end to the casualties that have plagued the region.
The White House has stated that a peace agreement to conclude the war in Ukraine has 'never been closer.' In contrast, Dmitry Peskov, the Kremlin spokesperson, acknowledged the planned telephone call for today but refrained from providing specifics, commenting that the Kremlin prefers not to jump ahead of events.
On the battlefield, Russian forces have reportedly made advances in southern Ukraine, claiming they have breached some Ukrainian lines less than 50 kilometers southeast of Zaporizhzhia.
This military development occurs against the backdrop of intensifying international scrutiny and calls for a resolution to the conflict.
The previous phone call between Putin and Trump took place on February 12, marking the first official discussion between the leaders of the two nations in three years, according to Russian news agency TASS.
Their conversation lasted for approximately 90 minutes, focusing on the Ukraine crisis and various longstanding issues within U.S.-Russia relations.
The two leaders agreed to maintain communication, including the organization of potential future meetings.
