Putin-Trump phone call hangs in balance amid ceasefire talks
The Kremlin has not yet set a date for a phone conversation between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, according to Putin's advisor, Yuri Ushakov. He mentioned that he does not anticipate such a conversation happening on Thursday.
President Donald Trump stated on Tuesday that he might speak with Putin this week. He added that he hopes a permanent ceasefire will be negotiated in the coming days.
It's worth noting that on Tuesday, in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, the Ukrainian side agreed to the American proposal for an immediate 30-day ceasefire, and the United States announced the resumption of halted military aid to the country.
"Many questions"
U.S. representatives also announced that they would present the ceasefire agreement proposal to Moscow. On Thursday, the U.S. President's advisor, Steve Witkoff, arrived in the Russian capital.
Today and tomorrow, Vladimir Putin will be engaging in discussions with Trump's representatives and envoys on this matter, and there are many questions, beyond the 30-day ceasefire, which need to be considered thoroughly and appropriate decisions need to be made, revealed Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko to journalists.
