Trump and Russia’s Putin spoke as Ukraine and Europe push for a ceasefire. For context: Russia and Ukraine engaged in direct talks last week for the first time since the war began — but the negotiations were short-lived and resulted only in a prisoner swap.

The U.S. president said he would speak to Russian leader Vladimir Putin on Monday to discuss trade and "stopping the 'bloodbath'" in Ukraine.

Moscow’s proposal for peace talks backfired as Ukraine’s European allies persuaded Zelensky to accept U.S. cease-fire plan.

European officials have no idea what President Donald Trump will say next about Russia’s war in Ukraine — or where that may leave them.

Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke to reporters about Russia’s position on its war with Ukraine after the president’s earlier high stakes phone call with US President Donald Trump.
