Russia and Ukraine will immediately begin negotiations on a ceasefire, and more importantly, the termination of the war." - US President Donald Trump stated following his call with Putin.
"I have just concluded a two-hour call with Putin. I believe this call was very successful. Russia and Ukraine will immediately begin negotiations on achieving a ceasefire. Most crucially, the complete end to the war.
The specific conditions will be agreed upon by both sides as soon as possible – because they hold the details of the negotiations, which are unknown to anyone else.
The tone and atmosphere of the call were very good. If they had not been, I would say so now rather than later.
Russia hopes to engage in large-scale trade with the United States after this catastrophic "bloody slaughter," and I agree with this. For Russia, this means a tremendous opportunity to create jobs and wealth, with unlimited potential.
Similarly, Ukraine will also benefit greatly from trade during the process of rebuilding the country.
Negotiations between Russia and Ukraine will begin immediately. I have informed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, French President Emmanuel Macron, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, and Finnish President Alexander Stubb. I spoke with them individually immediately after my call with Putin.
Vatican authorities expressed that the Pope is highly interested in these negotiations and is willing to participate actively. Let the negotiations begin!
