Donald Trump has recently demanded an end to the « carnage » in Ukraine. So in the afternoon he will talk to Putin on the phone. Both Trump and the Kremlin have confirmed that the phone call is being prepared.
Trump has said he will also talk to Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyj and various members of NATO. Trump’s administration has also threatened further sanctions on Russia does not take the peace talks seriously.
Several of Europe’s large countries – the United Kingdom, France and Germany – also come with threats after a meeting with the United States in London yesterday.
Britain’s Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced after the meeting that they discussed further sanctions on Russia do not engage in ceasefire and peace talks.
France’s President Emmanuel Macron wrote after the meeting at X:
« Tomorrow, President Putin must show that he wants peace by accepting the 30 -day unconditional ceasefire proposed by President Trump and supported by Ukraine and Europe. »
