Peace lovers around the world are smiling.
As TGP has reported, US President Donald J. Trump had a long and productive phone call with Russian president Vladimir Putin.
At the end of the call, a pleasant surprise gave new hope to a peace process that many feared had lost its momentum: Trump confirmed that he’ll meet with Russia’s Vladimir Putin in Hungary to try to resolve the war in Ukraine.
This is some way confirms earlier reports of a possible meeting in Budapest.
Associated Press reported:
“Trump spoke with Putin on Thursday as he considers Ukraine’s push for long-range missiles. The call comes ahead of Trump’s 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.”
