U.S. President Donald Trump spoke by phone with Russian President Vladimir Putin ahead of his meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Talks between the U.S. and Ukrainian leaders are set to begin in about an hour.
He wrote about this in Truth Social .
“I just had a good and very productive phone call with President Putin of Russia ahead of my meeting today at 1:00 p.m. with President Zelensky of Ukraine. The meeting will be held in the main dining room of the Mar-a-Lago Hotel. The press is welcome,” said Donald Trump.
The fact of the conversation was also confirmed by Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov. He told Russian media that a telephone conversation between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin took place, without providing additional details at this time.
As you know, the meeting between Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky is scheduled for December 28.
It is worth adding that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, on the eve of his meeting with US President Donald Trump, stated that important decisions could be made by the end of the year . According to him, this depends on the position of Ukraine’s international partners and pressure on Russia.
By the way, the Russian leadership refused to support Ukraine’s peace plan and declared its lack of readiness for a ceasefire . Analysts note that Moscow retains its previous war goals and at the same time intensifies the rhetoric of pressure on NATO.
As previously reported, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that during the planned meeting with US President Donald Trump, security guarantees for Ukraine and territorial issues will be the key topics .
Let us recall that the presented “peace plan”, which includes 20 points, is most likely the first line of retreat for the Ukrainian side , rather than the final compromise.
