US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin Agree to Negotiate Ceasefire in Ongoing Ukraine Conflict

ai generated text

The articles discuss a phone call between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, in which they agreed to begin negotiations to broker a ceasefire in Ukraine. Trump stated that he and Putin had a "lengthy and highly productive" call, and that they agreed to start negotiations immediately to end the war in Ukraine. However, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed skepticism about the possibility of a peace deal, citing the fact that Russia has taken a significant amount of land in Ukraine and has shown no intention of giving it back.

1. We have also agreed to have our respective teams start negotiations immediately, and we will begin by calling President Zelenskyy, of Ukraine, to inform him of the conversation, something which I will be doing right now.
2. I have asked Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Director of the CIA John Ratcliffe, National Security Advisor Michael Waltz, and Ambassador and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, to lead the negotiations which, I feel strongly, will be successful.
3. It is time to stop this ridiculous War, where there has been massive, and totally unnecessary, DEATH and DESTRUCTION. God bless the people of Russia and Ukraine!
4. President Putin even used my very strong Campaign motto of, 'COMMON SENSE.' We both believe very strongly in it. We agreed to work together, very closely, including visiting each other's Nations.
5. If he says great things about me, I'm going to say great things about him.
6. They've been saying that for a long time that Ukraine cannot go into NATO, and I'm okay with that. I just want the war [to end] whether they are or they're not.
7. He wants it to end. He doesn't want to end it and then go back to fighting six months later.
8. We expect that he'll come here and I'll go there and probably the first time, we'll meet in Saudi Arabia, to see if we can get something done.

1. As for General Keith Kellogg, he remains a critical part of this team in this effort.

1. And we believe he can succeed. But this can only happen with Ukraine. Otherwise, it simply won't work. Because Russia does not want to end the war, and Ukraine does.
2. If Ukraine is not in NATO, it means that Ukraine will build NATO on its territory. So we need an army as numerous as the Russians have today.
3. Together with the US, we are charting our next steps to stop Russian aggression and ensure a lasting, reliable peace. As President Trump said, let's get it done. We agreed to maintain further contact and plan upcoming meetings.
4. We long talked about opportunities to achieve peace, discussed our readiness to work together at the team level, and Ukraine's technological capabilities — including drones and other advanced industries.
5. I am grateful to President Trump for his interest in what we can accomplish together.
Vladimir Putin
Kremlin
1. I have always had a businesslike, at the same time pragmatic and trusting relationship with the current U.S. president.
2. I don't want to talk about it, if we are talking.
3. I cannot but agree with him that if he had been president, if he had not had his victory stolen from him in 2020, then maybe there would not have been the crisis in Ukraine that emerged in 2022. We are ready for negotiations on Ukrainian issues.
4. To the extent that he was able to achieve success in business, this shows that he's a smart person.
Dmitry Peskov
Kremlin
1. President Trump spoke in favor of stopping hostilities as soon as possible and solving the problem by peaceful means.
2. Putin and Trump have also agreed to continue personal contacts, including organizing a personal meeting.
3. Certainly, all issues related to security on the European continent, especially in those aspects that concern our country, the Russian Federation, should be discussed comprehensively, and we expect that to be the case.

1. It's really important that Ukraine is in the strongest possible position, whether that's in discussions or whether it's continued fighting.
John Healey
Labour Party
1. What he set out was a determination to work alongside, but also see other nations especially in Europe stepping up to support Ukraine — which we will.
2. Let's not forget, Russia remains a threat well beyond Ukraine.
3. We as a NATO alliance, to which (Hegseth) also gave the firmest possible continuing commitment, have always been clear that Ukraine's rightful place is in NATO.
Kaja Kallas
Reform Party
1. Our priority now must be strengthening Ukraine and providing robust security guarantees.
