Vladimir Putin has invited Donald Trump to Moscow after a 90 min phone call with US president:
“We agreed to work together, very closely, including visiting each other’s nations,” Trump said on social media.
The pair have agreed to have “our respective teams start negotiations immediately” on Ukraine.
Trump said in his social media message
“we will begin by calling President Zelenskyy, of Ukraine, to inform him of the conversation, something which I will be doing right now.”
Trump added that , “I feel strongly, will be successful. Millions of people have died in a War that would not have happened if I were President, but it did happen, so it must end. No more lives should be lost! I want to thank President Putin for his time and effort with respect to this call, and for the release, yesterday, of Marc Fogel, a wonderful man that I personally greeted last night at the White House. I believe this effort will lead to a successful conclusion, hopefully soon!”
The United Nations said it welcomed any efforts leading to peace talks between Russia and Ukraine. “We would appreciate any efforts to resolve the war in Ukraine that would involve the Russian and Ukrainian sides, so obviously if both of them are willing to be involved in the process, that would be a welcome development,” said Farhan Haq, a U.N. spokesman.
