Trump, Putin discuss possible meeting with Zelensky

U.S. President Donald Trump said he called Russian leader Vladimir Putin to discuss a possible trilateral meeting between the two of them and Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky.

He phoned Putin after meeting Zelensky and European leaders in Washington, D.C.

“During the meeting we discussed Security Guarantees for Ukraine, which Guarantees would be provided by the various European Countries, with a coordination with the United States of America,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social. “Everyone is very happy about the possibility of PEACE for Russia/Ukraine. At the conclusion of the meetings, I called President Putin, and began the arrangements for a meeting, at a location to be determined, between President Putin and President Zelenskyy. After that meeting takes place, we will have a Trilat, which would be the two Presidents, plus myself. Again, this was a very good, early step for a War that has been going on for almost four years. Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, are coordinating with Russia and Ukraine.”
