Moscow and Kyiv will “immediately” begin ceasefire talks with the aim of bringing an end to the war, US President Donald Trump claims as he divulged details of his phone calls with leaders of the two nations on Monday.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump said the call with Russian president Vladimir Putin went “very well” and the conditions of the ceasefire would be “negotiated between the two parties, as it can only be, because they know details of a negotiation that nobody else would be aware of” and suggested that talks between the two nations could be hosted at the Vatican following an offer by Pope Leo XIV, the recently-elected American-born pontiff.
