The meeting with President Vladimir Putin of Russia went very well, as did a late night phone call with President Zelenskyy of Ukraine, and various European Leaders, including the highly respected Secretary General of NATO. It was determined by all that the best way to end the horrific war between Russia and Ukraine is to go directly to a Peace Agreement, which would end the war, and not a mere Ceasefire Agreement, which often times do not hold up,” he said.”President Zelenskyy will be coming to DC, the Oval Office, on Monday afternoon. If all works out, we will then schedule a meeting with President Putin. Potentially, millions of people’s lives will be saved. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” he added.

Ukraine emphasizes that key issues can be discussed at the level of leaders, and a trilateral format is suitable for this,” he said in a post on X.Further providing details of his conversation with Trump, he said, “We also discussed positive signals from the American side regarding participation in guaranteeing Ukraine’s security. We continue to coordinate our positions with all partners. I thank everyone who is helping.” The highly anticipated Trump-Putin meet in Alaska on Friday ended with no peace deal on Ukraine. Described positively by both leaders, Putin even claimed that Ukraine invasion wouldn’t have happened if Trump would have been the president back then.Trump called the talks “extremely productive,” noting that “many points were agreed to” but stressing that “there’s no deal until there’s a deal.” Putin said they had reached an “understanding” on Ukraine and expressed hope it would help pave the way for peace, though no concrete measures were announced.
