President Donald Trump announced plans to speak with Russian President Vladimir Putin<\/a> on Tuesday as he pushes for an agreement to end Moscow\u2019s war with Ukraine, which began in February 2022.<\/p>\n

\nSpeaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday evening, Trump was optimistic about the moves toward peace. \u201cI\u2019ll be speaking to President Putin on Tuesday. A lot of work\u2019s been done over the weekend,\u201d he said, per the Guardian<\/a>. \u201cWe want to see if we can bring that war to an end. Maybe we can, maybe we can\u2019t, but I think we have a very good chance.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nThe conversation will come after a visit to Moscow last week by Trump\u2019s envoy, Steve Witkoff,<\/a> who held direct negotiations with Putin.<\/p>\n

\nUkraine has already agreed to the Trump administration\u2019s proposal for a 30-day pause in fighting during talks in Saudi Arabia, but only if Russia also commits to the ceasefire. While Putin has publicly claimed to support the idea, he has reportedly introduced conditions and delays that could complicate the process.<\/p>\n

\nAsked about potential concessions during his upcoming call with Putin, Trump said, \u201cWe will be talking about land. We will be talking about power plants \u2026 we have a lot of it already discussed very much by both sides, Ukraine and Russia. We are already talking about that, dividing up certain assets.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nDiplomatic efforts continue at other levels. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio<\/a> and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov spoke on Saturday to discuss the \u201cnext steps\u201d in the ceasefire negotiations.<\/p>\n

\nTrump said<\/a> earlier this week that he had a “productive” meeting with the Russian leader: “We had very good and productive discussions with President Vladimir Putin of Russia yesterday, and there is a very good chance that this horrible, bloody war can finally come to an end \u2014 BUT, AT THIS VERY MOMENT, THOUSANDS OF UKRAINIAN TROOPS ARE COMPLETELY SURROUNDED BY THE RUSSIAN MILITARY, AND IN A VERY BAD AND VULNERABLE POSITION,” Trump said on Truth Social.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
