"President Donald Trump posted an optimistic Truth Social message Sunday morning about Vladimir Putin, right before his meeting with Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky to discuss ending the war with Russia. I just had a good and very productive telephone call with President Putin of Russia prior to my meeting, at 1:00 P.M. today, with President Zelenskyy of Ukraine, Trump wrote. The meeting will take place in the main dining room of Mar-a-Lago. Press is invited."
"When asked about this new plan, Trump told Politico the Ukrainian president doesn't have anything until I approve it, adding, So we'll see what he's got. Trump also told The New York Post he believed there was a good shot that Ukraine and Russia were finally ready for a lasting a peace deal. I settled eight wars, and this is the most difficult of them all, Trump said. But I think we'll get it done."
"Trump has said he believed Russia's poor economy may force Putin to agree to peace. Their economy is in tough shape, very tough shape, Trump told Politico. Russia has shown no sign of ending its bombing campaign against Ukraine. On Saturday, Putin's troops pummeled the nation's capital, wounding at least 11 people and leaving nearly a third of the capital without heat, according to Kyiv's mayor."
Donald Trump posted an optimistic message after a productive telephone call with Vladimir Putin and scheduled a meeting with President Volodymyr Zelensky at Mar-a-Lago, inviting the press. Volodymyr Zelensky proposed a new 20-point peace plan that includes a demilitarized zone requiring Russian withdrawal from part of Donetsk. Ukrainian officials described the plan as showing flexibility without conceding territory. Trump told Politico Zelensky "doesn't have anything until I approve it," and said there was a good shot for a lasting peace. Trump cited Russia's weak economy as pressure for agreement while Russia continued bombing Kyiv, wounding at least 11 and leaving many without heat. Hundreds of thousands have died on both sides since the 2022 invasion.
