The two presidents will discuss the Ukraine conflict and trade on Monday, according to the US leader
US President Donald Trump has announced he will have a phone call on Monday with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin. It will focus on "stopping the 'bloodbath'" between Moscow and Kiev and trade issues, he said in a post on Truth Social on Saturday.
Following the call with Putin, Trump also plans to speak to Ukraine's Vladimir Zelensky and "various members of NATO," he said. The US president also expressed hope that Monday will be a "productive day" and "a ceasefire will take place." It is not clear if he expects a truce to be agreed upon on Monday or at a later date.
