On Tuesday, U.S. President Donald Trump held a phone conversation lasting over an hour with Russian leader Vladimir Putin. Even before the call, it was clear that the discussion would include, among other topics, the war in Ukraine.
Shortly after the conversation ended, the U.S. president summarized it on social media. He described it as “very good and productive” and shared specific agreements that had been reached.
“We agreed to an immediate Ceasefire on all Energy and Infrastructure, with an understanding that we will be working quickly to have a Complete Ceasefire and, ultimately, an END to this very horrible War between Russia and Ukraine,”
he wrote on the Truth Social platform.
He also added: “This War would have never started if I were President!“
The U.S. president stated that he and Putin discussed “many elements of a Contract for Peace”—including the fact that thousands of soldiers are dying and that both President Putin and President Zelensky would like the war to end.
“This process is now in full force and effect, and we will, hopefully, for the sake of Humanity, get the job done!”
he emphasized.
