After speaking with Vladimir Putin for over two hours on 19 May, President Donald Trump told reporters he sees potential for progress toward ending the Ukraine war, despite failed Ukraine-Russia negotiations in Turkey last week.
Ukrainian President expects to discuss the details of the next steps of a 30-day ceasefire agreement with the US President following Trump's phone call with Putin.
Olaf Scholz told ARD's "Caren Miosga" program he intends to speak with the Russian president “soon”, but only after consulting allies and Ukraine. “I am a responsible politician, I don't do this alone," he said.
Ukraine's Foreign Ministry denied another part of WP's report that Ukraine was allegedly informed of the call beforehand. Trump's team said they don't comment on "private calls."
