President Donald Trump announced late Sunday that negotiators in both Washington and Moscow have initiated discussions regarding the division of assets between Russia and Ukraine, with the aim of concluding the three-year-long conflict that has resulted in significant loss of life and economic turmoil in the region.
Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump shared his intention to engage in a conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday. He indicated that their discussion would center around the potential allocation of various assets, including territories and infrastructure such as power plants—points of contention that have been critical in the ongoing negotiations.
“I believe there has already been substantial dialogue between both Ukraine and Russia regarding these matters,” Trump stated. “Our goal is to explore any possibilities to bring the war to an end. While there’s no guarantee of success, I feel optimistic about the chances for a resolution.”
This development could mark a significant turning point in international relations and efforts to restore peace in Eastern Europe.
