US President Donald Trump will speak with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday regarding a US-backed Ukraine ceasefire proposal. The deal, discussed in Saudi Arabia last week, includes a 30-day ceasefire, which Ukraine has accepted. Trump stated that “many elements” of an agreement are in place but key issues remain. Russia, while supporting a ceasefire, questions its enforcement. France and the UK urged Putin to show commitment, while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Russia of prolonging the war. Talks may address land disputes and control over the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant.
