According to the journalists’ interlocutor, ensuring direct telephone contact between Zelensky and Putin is seen as a diplomatic success for the US president.
“If Putin had joined the phone call on Sunday, it would have been the biggest achievement in the preparation of peace talks and the first real step in the peace process,” the source said.
The interlocutor also noted that Donald Trump is acting as a key mediator in this process, as there is emotional tension between Zelensky and Putin, which complicates direct dialogue.
Additionally, journalists reported that during the talks in Florida, the central topic of discussion was a 20-point US-backed peace plan, prepared after several weeks of consultations.
