U.S. President Donald Trump has shared that he recently had a “very good” phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The two leaders discussed possible steps toward ending the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. According to Trump, Putin expressed a strong desire to see the war come to an end, emphasizing that he wants “people to stop dying.”
Trump revealed that the conversation was focused on finding ways to move forward and initiate talks aimed at peace. Putin’s desire for peace was clear, and both leaders agreed that action should be taken quickly to prevent further suffering. Trump added that they would explore opportunities for future face-to-face discussions, potentially in neutral countries like Saudi Arabia.
While the tone of the conversation was constructive, the proposal for peace has raised some concerns, especially in Ukraine. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has been made aware of the talks, but there’s uncertainty about what these negotiations might mean for Ukraine’s territorial integrity.

Zelenskyy has been firm in his stance that any peace deal must prioritize Ukraine’s sovereignty and independence.
The international community is watching closely, with many leaders urging that Ukraine be directly involved in any peace process. There’s hope that the willingness to talk signals the potential for a ceasefire, but questions remain about how much compromise will be needed from both sides.
