In recent diplomatic developments regarding the Ukraine conflict, President Trump expressed skepticism towards Putin's intent in a series of social media posts. Despite an agreement for a cease-fire from Ukraine, Russia showed resistance. Trump's call with Putin marked a notable change in approach, as he did not insist on immediate cessation of hostilities. Analysts indicated that Trump appeared to endorse Putin's framework for future negotiations, reflecting a possible strategic concession, which critics interpreted as aligning with Putin's objectives.
Trump basically gave his blessing to Putin's proposal to hold these talks on a framework document that would guide the peace talks.
For Trump, the two-hour-plus call was an eyebrow-raising shift, in both substance and tone: there was no demand for Putin to sign onto an immediate cease-fire.
