US President Donald Trump spoke with Russia’s President Vladimir Putin for two hours Monday, after Trump said only he and Putin could end the war in Ukraine.
Putin described the phone call as “meaningful, frank, and very useful,” saying that Russia is ready to work with Ukraine on a memorandum about a possible future peace treaty and ceasefire.
Trump said the call went “very well,” adding that Kyiv and Moscow will “immediately” begin peace negotiations. The two sides met for talks the first time since 2022 in Turkey last week.
