Trump reveals ‘serious discussions’ with Moscow regarding Ukraine
(MENAFN) US President Donald trump revealed that serious discussions with Moscow are already underway regarding the Ukraine conflict, adding that he expects something "significant" to happen once he speaks with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Trump, who took office last Monday, has consistently expressed his desire to negotiate a resolution to the war, emphasizing that the situation is senseless and must end.
When asked whether he had already spoken with Putin or had a call scheduled, Trump declined to provide specifics but confirmed that the discussions were ongoing. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov, however, stated that no phone call between the two leaders was planned as of now, with communications being conducted at the embassy level.
Trump has tasked his Ukraine envoy, Keith Kellogg, with securing a resolution within 100 days and warned of new sanctions against Russia if a deal is not reached. However, Trump made it clear that his intention is not to harm Russia. Russia has insisted that any peace agreement must include Ukraine's commitment to permanent neutrality, demilitarization, denazification, and recognition of territorial realities.
