Putin set to discuss Ukrainian conflict with TrumpHe stated this during a meeting of the Russian Security Council.According to Putin, the goal of negotiations with the new US administration should be not a short truce, but a longterm peace based on respect for the legitimate interests of all peoples living in this region.
We certainly welcome this mood and the elected President of the United States of America upon taking office.
I would like to emphasize that we have never refused dialogue and have always been ready to maintain equal relations of cooperation with any American administration.
At the same time, he cynically emphasized the equal basis of dialogue, and also stated that the main thing is to eliminate the main cause of the conflict in Ukraine.Trump plans to talk to PutiUS Presidentelect Donald Trump has instructed his aides to arrange a phone call with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin a few days after his inauguration.This is reported by CNN, citing sources.According to the publications interlocutors, one of the goals of such a conversation is to discuss a personal meeting in the coming months in Trumps efforts to end the war in Ukraine.It is noted that the future White House national security team began working on organizing a call with Putin several weeks ago.
However, the final date of the conversation is currently unknown.
Any talks between the two men would mark a sharp break with President Joe Bidens approach.
He has not spoken directly to Putin for nearly three years, fearing that any conversation would be helpful in resolving the conflict.
Trump sees things differently.
His view, described by a person familiar with his thinking, is that direct engagement with Putin is exactly what is needed to find a solution to end the war, CNN emphasizes.
During the campaign, Trump promised to end Russias war against Ukraine within 24 hours of his presidency.
But now, ahead of his inauguration, there are no signs that the war is on the verge of ending.Instead, the future American leader and his team hope to quickly begin work on a settlement plan it could be implemented in the first months of Trumps presidency, in particular thanks to his direct conversation with Putin.
