Former U.S. President Donald Trump stated that he had a "lengthy and highly productive" phone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday, during which both leaders agreed to initiate negotiations to end the war in Ukraine.Posting on his Truth Social platform, Trump revealed that he and Putin had decided to have their respective teams begin talks immediately and had even extended invitations to visit each other’s capitals.Shortly afterward, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed that he had also spoken with Trump regarding a "lasting, reliable peace."The discussions with both sides came as Trump and his defense secretary suggested that Ukraine was unlikely to join NATO—an outcome that would be deeply disappointing for Kyiv. Additionally, Trump told reporters at the White House that Ukraine was unlikely to regain its pre-2014 borders, signaling that Russia may retain control over certain Ukrainian territories.While Trump did not specify a date for an in-person meeting with Putin, he later told reporters: "We'll meet in Saudi Arabia."
