Trump to Call Putin for Ukraine Ceasefire: A Diplomatic Push
Former U.S. President Donald Trump is scheduled to speak with Russian President Vladimir Putin in an effort to mediate an end to the conflict in Ukraine.
Trump, who previously pledged to resolve the war swiftly upon assuming office, has initiated the call after recent talks between Russian and Ukrainian delegations in Istanbul failed to produce a ceasefire agreement.
Negotiations and Stalled Progress
Despite trading accusations, both sides have expressed interest in a potential meeting between Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Calls for Sanctions
Western allies are advocating for renewed sanctions against Russia, while Zelensky has discussed the possibility with U.S. Vice President JD Vance.
Tensions on the Ground
The situation on the ground remains tense, with reports of increased drone attacks across Ukraine.
