US President Donald Trump will speak separately to Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Monday to end the “bloodbath” in Ukraine, in the middle of concerns about the ongoing push in Washington, to convey peace finding.

“Hopefully it will be a productive day, a ceasefire will take place, and this very violent war, a war that should never have happened will end,” Trump wrote on Saturday in his usual, all-capitalized comments on his social media platform of truth.

The topic of the call will act and stop the “bloodbath” of the Russian and Ukrainian deaths, he said.

His call with Putin takes place at 5 p.m. Moscow time (10:00 a.m. ET) and takes into account the result of negotiations that were carried out in Istanbul last week, said Kreml spokesman Dmitry Peskov on Monday.

The US mediation should take place after representatives from Russia and Ukraine had their first personal talks in Istanbul since 2022 last week to bring Moscow and Kyiv's head of state as part of the downgraded discussions. Ultimately, Putin and Trump spurn the meeting that culminated in an agreement to exchange prisoners, but could not drive the peace process forward.

The discussions on the end of the Three Years' War in Ukraine have had in the past few months despite the US current to realize Trump's promise to arrive arranged peace. Trump threats that Washington could withdraw from the diplomatic process without an imminent resolution immediately said that the White House could reduce its critical military and humanitarian support for Ukraine.

Trump, whose revitalized resting relationships with the Kremlin after years of frigidity under his predecessor Joe Biden's administration recently to criticize Putin directly, has increasingly increased the possibility of further sanctions against Moscow and supported Ukraine and European calls for 30-day creasing.

The contours of a temporary ceasefire or a permanent peace proposal in the middle of maximum Russian demands and Zelensky's unwillingness to maintain potential territorial concessions have remained difficult to understand.

“The United States has presented a strong peace plan and we welcome the prisoner of the war exchange agreement achieved in Istanbul. Do not let us miss this great opportunity. The time for the end of this war is now,” said US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Saturday after being called with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.

“He explained to me that they would prepare a document in which their requirements for an armistice are described, which will then lead to broader negotiations,” said Rubio in a later television interview with CBS. “Obviously, the Ukrainian team will work on their own proposal. And hopefully it will soon be successful.”

But linger the signs of Washington's dwindling patience with the blocked process.

“We don't want to be involved in this process of endless discussions. There must be some progress, some movements forward,” emphasized Rubio.

On Sunday, Zelenskyy also met with Rubio and the US Vice President JD Vance and decodes the “low delegation of non-decision-makers” on social media that were used by Russia last week, and added that “Ukraine is ready to be the importance of a complete and uncertain cash.

European officials have changed during the majority of the youngest peace brokers and drove together with the White House. British, US -American, Italian, French and German leaders discuss during a call on Sunday.

“With a view to the call of President Trump with President Putin tomorrow, the leaders discussed the need for unconditional ceasefire and for President Putin to take peace talks seriously,” said a British government. “They also discussed the use of sanctions if Russia was not seriously incorporated with ceasefire and peace talks.”
