Amid rising tensions, Presidents Trump and Putin hold talks regarding the ongoing Ukraine crisis.
The dialogue that took place between President Trump and President Putin, lasting two hours, shed light on both leaders' perspectives on the ongoing war in Ukraine. While Putin maintained his call for concessions from Ukraine and emphasized the need to address the root causes of the crisis, Trump shifted away from ultimatums for a cease-fire. Instead, he suggested that negotiations should occur directly between Russia and Ukraine, subtly endorsing Putin's viewpoint.
During a follow-up discussion, Vice President JD Vance took a critical stance on Putin's game plan, questioning whether the Russian leader had any strategy to adequately de-escalate the conflict. Furthermore, the two leaders touched on a potential exchange of prisoners, with reports indicating they may explore a nine-for-nine swap.
