Trump and Putin agree to pursue peace talks on Ukraine
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that Russia and the United States have the political will to end the war in Ukraine. This claim follows a phone conversation between President Trump and President Putin.
It is worth noting that many reports from Russian media or government representatives are elements of propaganda. These reports are part of the information war conducted by the Russian Federation.
Peskov noted that both sides agreed that the conflict can be resolved through negotiations. The Kremlin spokesman added that he now awaits the first outcomes from the presidents' discussions.
However, Peskov emphasized that it is too early to speak about a date for a meeting between Putin and Trump. Saudi Arabia is one of the potential locations for talks. Putin's spokesman also remarked that it is premature to discuss the possible involvement of European countries in the negotiations.
