US EditionTrump says he will call Putin on Monday to discuss the war in Ukraine
- U.S. President Donald Trump announced plans to hold phone conversations on Monday with Russia’s leader Vladimir Putin, Ukraine’s commander-in-chief Volodymyr Zelenskyy, as well as NATO officials to discuss measures aimed at ending the conflict in Ukraine and addressing related trade matters.
- This planned call follows failed direct talks between Russian and Ukrainian delegations in Istanbul on May 16, where no ceasefire was agreed and Putin refused to meet Zelenskyy face-to-face.
- The talks agreed on exchanging 1,000 prisoners each but violence continued, including a drone strike killing nine civilians evacuating in Ukraine’s northeastern Sumy region shortly after the negotiations.
- Trump expressed frustration with stalled peace efforts, said nothing will happen until he and Putin meet, and hoped that Monday’s call will be productive, leading to a ceasefire and an end to the war he called 'a war that should have never happened.'
- The upcoming calls imply intensified U.S. Efforts to facilitate peace in Ukraine, with pressures on Moscow to accept a full and unconditional ceasefire amid ongoing sanctions threats if violence persists.
