“A meeting location is to be determined. President Putin and I will then meet in an agreed upon location, Budapest, Hungary, to see if we can bring this “inglorious” War, between Russia and Ukraine, to an end,” Trump said.

Earlier, Trump spoke with Putin ahead of his meeting on Friday at the White House with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who has been pressing Trump to sell Kyiv Tomahawk missiles that would allow Ukrainian forces to strike deeper into Russian territory.

Zelenskyy has argued such strikes would help compel Putin to take Trump’s calls for direct negotiations between Russia and Ukraine to end the war more seriously.

Trump said during their phone call, Putin congratulated him and the US for achieving peace in the Middle East, something that, the Russian Presidnet said, “has been dreamed of for centuries.”

Trump also said that the success of Middle East peace efforts could help in attaining similar results in the Russia-Ukraine war.

“I actually believe that the Success in the Middle East will help in our negotiation in attaining an end to the War with Russia/Ukraine,” Trump said.
