Trump says he’ll talk to Putin Tuesday amid push to end Ukraine war

President Trump said he will be speaking with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday amid the push to end the war with Ukraine.
“We’re doing pretty well, I think, with Russia,” he told reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday evening. “See if we have something to announce maybe Tuesday.”
Trump also said “a lot of work’s been done over the weekend."
"We want to see if we can bring that war to an end.”
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov also confirmed the call between leaders for Tuesday, but refused to give details to not “get ahead of events” and the content of conversation is not “subject to any prior discussion,” The Associated Press reported.
Trump noted that land and power plants are part of the conversation with Russia, mentioning an effort focused on “dividing up certain assets.”
Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff visited Russia and met with Putin recently in another push to get the country to agree to a ceasefire deal with Ukraine.
The Trump administration met with Russian officials early on, sidelining Ukraine and causing international concern.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky then came to Washington to meet with Trump, but the conversation ended with shouting. Zelensky has since sought to repair ties, and the U.S. and Ukraine have agreed to a 30-day ceasefire plan.
Russia has not yet publicly said if it will accept the deal, but Witkoff said his discussions were “positive.”
After Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, its forces have taken parts of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions in the eastern part of the country and the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions in the southeast, though it does not fully control any of the four, the AP noted.
In the past, Putin demanded Ukraine pull its troops from the area as part of a suggested peace deal, but Kyiv refused.
