Trump says conversations with Putin can lead to the end of the war, while thousands of Ukrainian soldiers are surrounded by the Russian army
US President Donald Trump said on social networks on Friday that his government “had very good and productive discussions with President Vladimir Putin from Russia yesterday,” and there is a great chance that “this horrible and bloody war” could finally come to an end.
Trump noted in the social truth public that “at this very moment, thousands of Ukrainian troops are completely surrounded by the Russian military and in a very bad and vulnerable position.”
“I vehemently asked President Putin to save his lives,” he added.
The Ukrainian army launched an offensive in the Kursk region of Russia in August, taking about 1,300 square kilometers of land. But, as the Russian army has intensified its counterattack in recent weeks, the Ukrainian army situation in the region is rapidly deteriorating.
Kremlin confirmed that Trump’s envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff met with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday night (15).
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Friday that Russian President Vladimir Putin supports Trump’s position on a solution to the Ukraine conflict, but has concerns about unresolved issues.
“So, in fact, there is a long time that needs to be done, but still the president expressed solidarity with Mr. Trump’s position,” said the spokesman, adding that there was reasons for “cautious optimism” regarding a solution to the conflict.
