Trump administration live updates: Trump says Russia, Ukraine to begin ceasefire talks 'immediately'
President Donald Trump said over the weekend that he would speak to Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy today to try and negotiate a peace deal to end the three-year-long war.
The president announced that “Russia and Ukraine will immediately start negotiations toward a Ceasefire and, more importantly, an END to the War.”
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.
"If you put it together, you could say that Zelensky is patient and President Trump is getting impatient, but in the right direction, which is towards Russia," Finnish President Alexander Stubb said after holding separate talks with both Trump and Zelensky this weekend.
