US President Donald Trump spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin in a two-hour call, discussing a potential Ukraine ceasefire. This follows Trump's 30-day ceasefire proposal, which Putin said he supports but wants more details. Before the call, Trump mentioned land and power plant control as key topics. Ukrainian officials had accepted the US proposal after talks in Saudi Arabia, but President Volodymyr Zelenskyy remains skeptical. The White House called the talks “going good,” while Putin’s spokesperson confirmed discussions on US-Russia relations. Trump emphasized urgency, stating, “We’re going to see if we can work a peace agreement.”
