Commenting on the conversation with the Russian leader, Trump said he thought some progress had been made.
“There’s a horrible situation going on there – 5,000 young people are being killed every week, so I hope we’ve taken some action. We’ve also spoken with leaders of most European countries and we’re trying to finish that whole thing. What a shame it even started,” the U.S. President added.
In a post on his Truth Social platform after the call, Trump emphasized that Russia and Ukraine would immediately begin negotiations on a ceasefire and, “more importantly, on an end to the war.”
