President Trump on Monday said that Russia and Ukraine will immediately begin negotiations on a ceasefire, following phone calls with the leaders of each country. He also noted the Vatican has offered to host the talks.
The White House said Trump spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin for about two hours, after speaking with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky earlier in the day.
Trump has been pushing for a 30-day ceasefire in the war, and the White House said before Monday’s calls that he was frustrated with both sides.
The president called for a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine before entering office, and more than two months of direct diplomacy has failed to get Putin to agree to even basic terms.

BULLSHIT!!
PPPOTUS (Trump = Pathetic Putin’s Puppet of the United States) keeps hallucinating/
PUTIN DOES NOT WANT PEACE!
EVEN IF HE WANTED IT, IT IS TOO LATE. HE IS TRAPPED.
If PPPOTUS had a clue, he would be ordering Rutte to declar war.
Then ALL of NATO could go after the demented war criminal (Putin) and get him out of his Kremlin bunker dead or alive.
So sad you are so dense when it comes to politics. TRUMP was the Prez who put heavy sanctions on Russia during his first term! TRUMP was the man who stopped the pipeline from being built from Russia to the EU! Why are lefties so utterly empty headed when it comes to facts? I assume it is from the disease called TDS that the lamestream media has drilled into you fools over the years. Pathetic.
Dense? Leftist?
I am a Republican. I am a Civil Engineer and I have a doctorate in Applied philosophy.
I grant you the above points.
But now, Trump is the clueless PPPOTUS (Pathetic Putin’s Puppet of the US) who believes that negotiating with a demented war criminal is possible. PPPOTUS’ “solution” is to allow Putin to keep the invaded territories and kidnapped children and get away with all his war crimes. Anyone who agrees with that is clueless and dense beyond belief. If PPPOTUS had a clue, we woud be ordering Rutte to declare the war. Then ALL of NATO could go after the demented war criminal and get him out of his Kremlin bunker dead or alive. Either to cremation or the Hague for trial.
Or use for seeding more war
