President Donald Trump will speak with Russian President Vladimir Putin to pursue a cease-fire in the ongoing conflict with Ukraine. Trump highlighted the urgent need to stop the violence, which has led to significant casualties among soldiers of both sides. The call will occur following direct peace talks that took place in Istanbul, where officials made progress with a major prisoner swap agreement. However, tensions remain high, as face-to-face talks between Zelensky and Putin were not realized, highlighting the complexities of achieving lasting peace.
Trumpâs planned call with Putin aims to address the escalating death toll in the conflict and explore avenues for a cease-fire and trade discussions.
During the meeting in Istanbul, officials from both nations made strides toward peace, including a significant prisoner swap, yet a direct dialogue between Zelensky and Putin was absent.
Zelenskyâs diplomatic efforts included meeting with Erdogan to strengthen alliances, as he sought a cease-fire that would allow for a potential future meeting with Putin.
The ongoing conflict, with thousands of casualties weekly, underscores the urgent need for diplomatic solutions, as highlighted by Trumpâs upcoming discussions with both leaders.
