Moscow confirms Putin-Trump phone call date

The US president earlier announced that he expects the conversation to take place on Tuesday

Russian President Vladimir Putin and his US counterpart Donald Trump are scheduled to have a phone conversation on Tuesday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has announced.

Peskov confirmed an earlier announcement made by Trump, who told reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday that he plans to speak with Putin on Tuesday to discuss the prospects of a peace agreement in the Ukraine conflict.

Commenting on the details of the upcoming phone call, Trump suggested that it will focus on the territorial realities in Ukraine and Kiev’s claims to now-Russian territories, as well as power plants endangered by the conflict. Peskov neither confirmed nor denied Trump’s words.

“We never do that; we never jump the gun. Preparations for the conversation are ongoing, but as we see it, discussions between two heads of state should not be preemptively disclosed,” the spokesman said.

Commenting on the upcoming phone call, US special envoy Steve Witkoff earlier stated that Trump and Putin were expected to discuss US-proposed ceasefire in Ukraine. Witkoff met with Putin in Moscow last week to present him with the details of the potential 30-day truce, which Kiev agreed to at the talks in Saudi Arabia early last week. While the details of the envoy’s meeting with Putin have not been disclosed, Witkoff described it as “positive.”

The Russian president said last week that he welcomed the ceasefire in principle, but insisted that certain issues need to be addressed before he could agree to it.
