During a recent private telephone conversation, U.S. President Donald Trump encouraged Russian leader Vladimir Putin to seek a rapid resolution to the ongoing war in Ukraine. According to Kremlin foreign policy adviser Yury Ushakov, Trump highlighted the potential for significant economic and trade improvements between the two nations should the hostilities cease. While the White House has not officially verified the call, Ushakov noted that the discussion included specific proposals to expedite peace. Putin reportedly shared his perspective on the current military situation and maintained his established conditions for a settlement, which include the withdrawal of Ukrainian forces from specific eastern territories. This dialogue followed recent diplomatic missions to Moscow and Kyiv by Trump’s special envoys. Both leaders expressed a positive outlook regarding these mediation efforts, though the Kremlin emphasized that the specific details of the conversation remain confidential.
