Trump has the meeting with Putin back, demanding direct discussions about Ukraine Russia.

President Donald Trump and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin spoke on Monday, which Trump said, an attempt to stop the “bloodbath” of the war in Ukraine.

The call lasted longer than two hours and “was very informative and very open,” Putin told Russian state media.

While he said how well the call had gone, Putin also seemed to avoid a suggestion that he would stir from his position. He did not give a willingness to meet Trump personally, and said: “Russia's position is clear: The main thing for us is to eliminate the basic causes of this crisis.”

On his social platform Truth Social, Trump said: “I have just completed my two -hour call with President Vladimir Putin from Russia. I think it went very well. Russia and Ukraine will immediately start negotiations on ceasefire and, above all, an end to the war. The conditions for this are negotiated between the two parties, as it can be because they know details of a negotiation that nobody else would know. “

Trump also said in his social post in his truth that he spoke to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and with members of NATO.

“We realize that there is a bit of a dead end here, and I think the president will say to President Putin, see, are you serious? Is that really about it?” Vice President JD Vance told the journalists in Rome on Monday, where he was received by Pope Leo XIV.

“The proposal from the United States has always been, there are many economic advantages to thaw the relationships between Russia and the rest of the world, but they will not bring the advantages that they kill again and again to kill many innocent people,” he added.

In the meantime, Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov said before calling that Russia was “high values” and “the American side”. In a briefing with journalists, he said that if the United States can “help to achieve our goals with peaceful means, be in fact.

Peskov was also asked about the chance that Trump and Putin personally meet, a way that the American president hovered on Friday.

“It will largely depend on what you decide yourself,” said Peskov. The meeting “must be” developed “by the two guides in terms of data and other details, he added.

Before Trump-Putin's eagerly awaited reputation, the guides from Great Britain, France, Germany and Italy said that they spoke to Trump on Sunday. The British government said in a statement that “Putin to take peace talks seriously”.

These leaders “also discussed the use of sanctions if Russia was not seriously involved in ceasefire and peace talks,” says the explanation – something that Trump has previously threatened.

“Tomorrow President Putin has to prove that he wants to peace by accepting the 30-day unconditional ceasefire, which is proposed by President Trump and supported by Ukraine and Europe,” said French President Emmanuel Macron about X.

Trump was widely criticized for this. This voices were accompanied last week by the former US ambassador to Ukraine Bridget Brink, who gave details about why it resigned last month.

“Politics since the beginning of the Trump administration was to put pressure on the victim of Ukraine and not on the attacker Russia,” she wrote on Friday in an opinion for Detroit Free Press.

“Peace at any price is not a peace at all – it is appeasement,” she said, adding that “we face aggression, do not have to show weakness or complicity.”

While diplomatic activity continues, violence on Ukraine continues. Russia continued its almost disadvantageous drone and rocket attacks on the Ukrainian civilians, more than three years after the introduction of a complete invasion and tried to confiscate Kyiv.

On Sunday, Russia shot residential area of ​​the eastern Ukrainian city of Kherson, killed a 75-year-old woman and injured two other people, and the city council released the Telegram Messaging site.

Russia is not only held responsible for the start of a non -provoked war, but is convicted in the West for the highly repressive and authoritarian state, which was designed by Putin's Kremlin.

On Monday, the Russian public prosecutor's office described Amnesty International, as a “undesirable organization” and effectively prohibited it. The authority accused the Human Rights Watchdog based in London to be “Russophobus”, tried to extend the war and wanted to “justify the crimes of the Ukrainian neo -Nazis” and his employees to support “extremist organizations”.

Trump, who often spoke warmly by Putin, rarely when these human rights concerns ever mentioned.

Trump said on Saturday in a social contribution to the truth that he would speak to Putin on Monday at 10 a.m. to stop “the” bloodbath “, which is killed an average of more than 5,000 Russian and Ukrainian soldiers a week. NBC News did not review the numbers cited by Trump independently.

Apparently Trump referred to his planned call with Putin and his planned conversations with Zelenskyy and other European leaders and added: “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.”

Although Trump has been promising several times to end the war in 24 hours, he has found reality very differently since the beginning of his second term.

Negotiations with the US negotiations in Istanbul personally meet personally in Istanbul in Istanbul last week in Istanbul.

However, the demands of the two sides remain far apart: With the statement of Russia, it will only sign a ceasefire if Ukraine effectively results. According to Ukraine, these requirements are unacceptable.
