U.S. President Donald Trump is scheduled to speak with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday to discuss a potential resolution to the ongoing Ukraine conflict. This follows positive discussions between U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff and Putin in Moscow, where a 30-day ceasefire proposal was tentatively agreed upon. The ceasefire aims to facilitate broader negotiations on territorial and security issues. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has accepted the proposal, seeking immediate talks post-ceasefire and opposing recognition of Russian-occupied territories. The U.S. has resumed military aid and intelligence-sharing with Kyiv. While challenges remain, this initiative signifies a potential turning point in the three-year conflict.
