US President-elect Donald Trump has instructed his team to arrange a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The goal is to discuss the meeting and ways to end the war in Ukraine, Orda.kz reports, citing CNN.
Donald Trump is getting ready to take office and seems eager to resolve the conflict quickly. Reports suggest that his first phone call with Putin could happen just days after the inauguration, with plans to set up a personal meeting in the coming months, a CNN source familiar with the situation reports.
Trump previously claimed he could resolve the conflict "within 24 hours of taking office," but with ongoing hostilities in Ukraine, that promise seems unlikely.
Trump's new approach differs from the policy of current President Joe Biden, who has avoided direct negotiations with Putin. Trump believes that having direct discussions with the Russian leader is essential for finding a peaceful solution.
It's still unclear whether Trump's administration will follow Biden's strategy of providing military and intelligence support to Ukraine. Additionally, Trump has not clarified what security guarantees he might offer Kyiv or how the country's reconstruction would be funded.
Biden hasn’t spoken directly with Putin in almost three years, wary any conversation would be useful toward resolving the conflict. Trump sees things differently. His view, described by a person familiar with his thinking, is that direct engagement with Putin is exactly what is needed to find a solution to end the war,CNN reports.
After the inauguration, both parties are reportedly expected to start preparing for negotiations.
Trump supporters believe these talks could be a crucial step toward resolving the conflict.
Reports indicate that Trump's team has been preparing to engage in dialogue with Putin for several weeks.
Switzerland and Serbia have already offered to host the negotiations. Trump's pick as the US special envoy for Ukraine and Russia, Keith Kellogg, the US, had postponed his planned trip to Kyiv at the beginning of January.
