Trump Discusses Ukraine War in Phone Call with Putin, Plans for Peace Talks

Former President Donald Trump has revealed that he spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin regarding the ongoing war in Ukraine, which is nearing its third anniversary. Trump stated that Putin expressed a desire to see an end to the conflict and for people to stop dying. The Kremlin, however, has not confirmed or denied the specifics of the call. Trump mentioned his openness to meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as he seeks to establish peace between the two nations. Amidst these discussions, the Trump administration is reportedly preparing to unveil a peace plan aimed at resolving the conflict, potentially by Easter, though skepticism remains about its acceptance by Putin. Both Russia and Ukraine are urged to make concessions to pave the way for negotiations. The U.S. continues to push for a resolution to the war through various means, including sanctions.
