President Donald Trump will speak with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday in a possible pivot point in efforts to end the war in Ukraine and an opportunity for Trump to continue reorienting American foreign policy.
Trump disclosed the upcoming conversation to reporters while flying from Florida to Washington on Air Force One on Sunday evening, while the Kremlin confirmed Putin’s participation on Monday morning.
“We will see if we have something to announce maybe by Tuesday. I will be speaking to President Putin on Tuesday,” Trump said. “A lot of work’s been done over the weekend. We want to see if we can bring that war to an end.”
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov on Monday morning confirmed the plans for the two leaders to speak on Tuesday, but declined to give details, saying that “we never get ahead of events” and “the content of conversations between two presidents are not subject to any prior discussion.”
European allies are wary of Trump’s affinity for Putin and his hardline stance toward Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who faced sharp criticism when he visited the Oval Office a little more than two weeks ago.

Trump should ask for Kraft’s ring.

Trump will work a deal with Putin for the Rare Earth Minerals
bypassing the little Ukie Global Homo.
I’m thinking some of West Ukraine needs to be returned to Poland.
And, Crimea is the last thing the Russians would give up given that a naval base they have operated there since before the US Constitution was written is there.
And, parts of Western Ukraine should be returned to Hungary and Romania as well.
Trump’s mention of power plants was the first time for that as something involved in discussion.
People do forget the nuclear power plant down south is one of the largest in Europe and the Russians have held it for I dunno, 2 years?
Maybe a deal guaranteeing electric power from it is a chip.
Yup. It hasn’t been generating any electricity for 2.5 years.
Putin’s ports and airbases in occupied Crimea are under Ukrainian fire control. And 30% of his Black Sea flotilla sleeps with the fishes. Putin is begging to return to Sevastopol.
What flagship Moskva doink?
I'm sure that can be arranged.
Putin’s botched invasion ends on April 20th and he’s still trying to conquer the village of Chasiv Yar.
Too funny Putin blew up his best general Prigozhin.

Russia liberates Russia after 8 months? lol!
Poland was partitioned 4 times by its neighbors. So it isn’t like there isn’t historical precedence.
That did strike me as a bit of an overreaction, but sometimes messages do need to be sent to a broader audience.
Russia stopped advancing in Donbas after Putin blew up Prigozhin.
LOL. That’s funny. Genocidally erasing the second biggest country in Europe is as Nazi as it gets. Nazism has returned to Europe and this time it comes from Russia.
