President Trump spoke with Russian President Putin for over two hours and both reported that the conversation was positive. They say a ceasefire is in the works but…they’ve been saying that for weeks and this weekend, the Russian military reported that Ukraine is losing up to 1,345 servicemen per day.
President Trump said that negotiations are underway towards a ceasefire and permanent end to the war. He seemed to indicate that after the war ends, Russia can start doing business with the U.S.
President Zelensky said that he too spoke with President Trump and that Ukraine is “ready for a full and unconditional ceasefire.” He pleaded with the United States to stay involved and threatened Russia with sanctions from the U.S. and Europe if it does not cooperate. Who is he to threaten sanctions from countries he does not run?
President Putin says that the details of a ceasefire will continue in Istanbul where President Zelensky met with a Russian delegation just days ago.
