Trump and Putin Set to Discuss Ukraine Ceasefire

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has announced plans to speak with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday in an effort to negotiate an end to the ongoing war in Ukraine. Speaking aboard Air Force One, Trump expressed optimism about the potential for progress, stating, "We want to see if we can bring that war to an end. Maybe we can, maybe we can't, but I think we have a very good chance".

The discussion is expected to focus on key issues such as territorial disputes and control over power plants, with Trump describing the talks as "dividing up certain assets". This marks a significant diplomatic move as the conflict, now in its third year, continues to devastate Ukraine and strain international relations.

The outcome of the talks remains uncertain, but the world watches closely as the two leaders prepare for this high-stakes conversation.
