Trump says Russia-Ukraine ceasefire talks will begin immediately following call with Putin

Quick Summary:

Trump also spoke with with Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy and European leaders in hopes of making progress toward a ceasefire.

The Republican president is banking on the idea that his force of personality and personal history with Putin will be enough to break any impasse over a pause in the fighting.“I’d say we’re more than open to walking away,” Vance told reporters before leaving Rome after meeting with Pope Leo XIV.

Trump said the call was “excellent,” adding, "If it wasn’t, I would say so now, rather than later.” The conversations came after the White House said the U.S.leader has grown “frustrated” with both leaders over the continuing war in Ukraine.
