U.S. President Donald Trump to speak with Presidents Putin and Zelenskyy on Monday to discuss efforts toward peace in Ukraine.
U.S. President Donald Trump is set to speak with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday at 10 a.m. ET (1400 GMT) to discuss the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Following the call with Putin, Trump will speak with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The discussions come amid increasing pressure to find a resolution to Europe's deadliest conflict since World War II.
Trump, who has repeatedly called for an end to the violence, wants to be remembered as a peacemaker and has referred to the conflict as a proxy war between the U.S. and Russia.
U.S. Vice President JD Vance acknowledged that the war had reached an impasse, stating that if Russia is unwilling to engage in peace talks, the U.S. may eventually step back from its involvement. Vance also emphasized that any peace process requires both sides to cooperate, noting that "it takes two to tango."
Meanwhile, Putin has maintained firm conditions for ending the war, including Ukraine’s abandonment of NATO aspirations and withdrawal from Russian-claimed regions. Despite this, Putin is facing mounting pressure from the West, as well as from Trump, who has indicated that additional sanctions could be imposed on Russia if peace talks do not progress.
As the U.S. prepares to push for peace, the outcome of Monday’s talks with both Putin and Zelenskyy could shape the next phase of the war.
