Trump says he hopes to speak with Putin this Tuesday about the end of the war in Ukraine and the possibility of «dividing certain assets»

The president of the United States, Donald Trump, announced that he will hold a conversation with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, next Tuesday to address the conflict in Ukraine. This dialogue will focus on the possibility of a high fire and the division of certain assets between the two nations. The Kremlin has confirmed that Putin will participate in this call.

Trump, during communication with journalists at the Air Force One, said they have already made consultations with both parties, specifically mentioning «rare land and energy plants» as the assets that could be the object of discussion. In addition, he proposed a high 30 -day fire, an offer that has been accepted by Ukraine, but that still expects a clear response from Moscow.

Trump’s international advisor, Steve Witkoffwho met with Putin recently, said in an interview with CNN his expectation that some kind of agreement will be achieved in the coming weeks: «Trump really expects some kind of agreement to be.»

On the other hand, the head of American diplomacy, Marco Rubioand his Russian counterpart, Serguéi Lavrovthey had a telephone conversation last Saturday, where they discussed the next phases to end the war. The Russian Foreign Ministry explained that «the specific aspects» were discussed on the continuation of the conversations initiated in Saudi Arabia, without mentioning the high fire proposed by the US.

Since his return to the presidency in January, Trump has expressed his intention to finish the conflict that has been more than three years and has been closer to Putin. This dialogue occurred after a virtual summit organized by London.

The British Prime Minister, Keir Starmerhe urged the leaders present to focus on «how to strengthen Ukraine», while the French president, Emmanuel Macronwarned that «the pressure must be clear» on Moscow due to the lack of a genuine commitment for peace by the Kremlin.

Zelenski, Ukrainian president, has appointed a «delegation» to negotiate a «Just peace» With Russia, according to a decree issued on Saturday. At the same time, Macron stressed that the current situation is crucial and warned that if Russia does not show a sincere commitment to peace, President Trump could harden the sanctions, which «will completely change the dynamics» of the conflict.

Despite these diplomatic efforts, hostilities are still ongoing. Moscow reported the recovery of territory in the Kursk region this week, and it was reported that the Ukrainian Air Force has demolished 130 drones Russians attacking 14 regions of the country.

In addition, the Ukrainian authorities confirmed that a drone attack in Izium left a dead person and that a Russian attack in Cheriguiv damaged residential properties. In terms of evacuations, it was announced that 371 civilians were evacuated from territories reconquered by Russia in the Kursk region.
