Russia confirms Trump-Putin call set for Tuesday over next steps in ceasefire talks

President Donald Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin are set to speak in a phone call on Tuesday to discuss ending the war in Ukraine, the Kremlin confirmed Monday, as the United States seeks Moscow’s support for a 30-day ceasefire proposal.

Trump first announced the planned call on Sunday, stating there was “a very good chance” of reaching a deal. “We are doing pretty well, I think, with Russia,” he told reporters aboard Air Force One. “We’ll see if we have something to announce maybe by Tuesday.”

When asked what concessions Russia would make in a potential deal, Trump said discussions have already taken place about “dividing up” assets, including land and power plants. “We will be talking about land. We will be talking about power plants,” he said. “I think a lot of it has already been discussed at length by both sides, Ukraine and Russia.”
