First steps towards the end of the Ukraine War: the keys to the call between Putin and Trump

The president of the United States, Donald Trump, said that the call with the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, this Monday has been very successful and that Moscow and kyiv “will begin negotiations immediately” for a high fire and the end of the war.

Even so, and after the failure of negotiations between Russians and Ukrainians in Istanbul, Putin continues to claim that the troops of Zelenski leave their positions in the four annexed regions and, in turn, the Ukrainian president claims to negotiate a 30 -day fire.

Putin’s commitment to make a memorandum

During the three hours that the call has lasted, Trump has exposed Putin the possibility of the truce, who has replied that the negotiations with Kyiv are possible “If the corresponding agreements are reached”. He has also shown his willingness to prepare a memorandum that includes the peace agreement.

“First, I have grateful to the president of the United States his support For the resumption of direct negotiations between Russia and Ukraine on the possible conclusion of a peace agreement, as well as the resumption of negotiations that, as is known, were interrupted by the Ukrainian part in 2022, “Putin told the TASS news agency.

Likewise, the senior president has expressed that in the document he intends to write, a series of positions must be defined, among which are the principles for the high on fire and a possible calendar to carry out the agreement.

On the other hand, Putin has described the call as “very constructive” and has indicated that “I value it highly.”
