Trump: Ceasefire talks 'on track' after 'very good' Zelensky call

President Trump said ceasefire talks to end the war between Kyiv and Moscow are “on track” following a “very good call” with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, the latest in the back-and-forth effort to halt the more than three-year conflict.

The call with Zelensky on Wednesday lasted approximately one hour and largely focused on aligning the Ukrainian and Russian positions on a potential ceasefire deal, Trump said in a statement posted to his social media site Truth Social.

It came one day after Trump spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“We are very much on track,” Trump said, adding that more details would be provided by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and national security adviser Mike Waltz.

Following the call with Putin on Tuesday, Trump put his support behind a limited ceasefire in which Russia and Ukraine would halt attacks on energy facilities and infrastructure.

While Putin said he would direct his military command to implement the plan immediately, Ukraine reported hundreds of attacks across the country by Russian drones.

Zelensky, speaking ahead of his call with Trump, described Putin’s statements as “very much at odds with reality.”
