Trump-Putin LIVE: WW3 fears as Trump threatens huge Ukraine strike on Russia | World | News

Mr. Trump announced the conversation in a post on Truth Social: “I’m talking to President Putin right now. The conversation is ongoing, long, and I, like President Putin, will report the content of the conversation at the end. Thank you for your interest in this matter!”

The debate centers on pressuring Putin for direct negotiations to end Russia’s occupation of Ukraine.
