UPDATE: Russian President Vladimir Putin said today the call with U.S. President Trump was frank and meaningful. Putin declared peace via a ceasefire is possible.
"The resumption of contacts in Istanbul indicates that the parties are generally on the right path.
The roots of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine must be eliminated.
"A ceasefire with Ukraine is possible upon reaching relevant agreements.
"Russia and Ukraine must find compromises that suit both sides. Peskov or Ushakov will later clarify the details of the conversation with Trump.
"Russia is ready to work with Kyiv on a memorandum on a future peace treaty."
The recent negotiations in Istanbul between the Russian and Ukrainian delegations were hopefully the beginning of the end of the Ukraine war, where thousands are still dying every week.
U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff predicts that Pres. Trump will have a "successful" phone call with Russian Pres. Putin on Monday, writes ABC News. "They know each other. The president is determined to get something done here ... If he can’t do it, then nobody can."
As we reported last week, the Istanbul talks were the 'opening salvo' of Russian and Ukrainian positions, and those will likely be adjusted as the negotiations proceed.
The Russians are 'negotiating' by taking more territory. We reported on this yesterday.
Although President Trump has earned respect in Moscow with attempts to understand the Russian position, the fact is the West pushed for this war.
Russia is unlikely to back down from territorial security guarantees, as well as Ukraine.
Ukraine is the victim in this war, not just from Russia, but from the West as well. The U.S. has done Ukraine no favors. The country is destroyed and depopulated, which was likely a globalist goal.
As Trump said, this war didn't have to happen, but 'The Blob' wanted it desperately, and still does.
"The roots of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine must be eliminated."
As far as Putin is concerned the only solution is Ukrainian surrender and going back under Russia's thumb. Putin is not able to force that and he is ruining Russia in the process. The root cause of the war is Putin.
