Trump Comments on Putin Call on Tuesday

The Kremlin confirmed that Russian President Vladimir Putin is due to speak to President Donald Trump on Tuesday amid the US push for a ceasefire in the war in Ukraine.

“Such a conversation is being prepared for Tuesday,” Putin’s spokesman, Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Monday, according to the Interfax news service. He declined to comment further on the planned discussions.

Trump had first announced the call to reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday, saying there was “a very good chance” for a deal. “We are doing pretty well I think with Russia,” he said. “We’ll see if we have something to announce maybe by Tuesday.”

The US is pressing for Russia to agree to a 30-day ceasefire that Ukraine has said it’s ready to accept. While Putin has said Russia is willing to consider a truce in principle, he has insisted on a number of conditions before he’ll commit to any halt to the invasion he started three years ago.

I'm sure America signaling they would stop supporting Ukraine affected moral on both sides in different ways.

I have never in my life met one person that wants to take credit or wants people to brag on him more than this man right here. It’s so noticeable that I don’t see how anybody likes him. I truly don’t.

He emboldened putin and his army by humiliating Zelensky and withdrawing his support.

If you were a Ukrainian soldier right now you would be kissing President Trumps feet for saving your ass 😊

This guy always labels himself the great negotiator. Putin doesn't give shit what you say. Always me me me.

[ariellegolas]

Is that because those “soldiers” are in reality mercenaries from U.S. - NATO?
Those mercenaries have committed horrendous crimes against civilians in Kursk.

If Russia was strong why it needed North Korean soldiers to fight

[charless]

What happened the war was supposed to end day 1

[kanyedakid]

So let me get this straight, you can call to a different time zone to have some soldiers spared but you can’t get Putin to sit at the table and agree? Lol what a clown

[derrillyager]

Have Putin come to the oval and give him a proper greeting

He doesn't give a shit about the soldiers or the people, all he cares about is his money and golf.
