US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that Russia and Ukraine are “on the right track” for a cease-fire.
This announcement comes following a “very good” telephone call held Wednesday in the morning between Trump and the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky.
“I just finished a very good telephone interview with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy,” wrote the American president on the network, Truth Social.
The call lasted “about an hour,” he said, saying that “a large part of the discussion focused on yesterday’s call with the president (Russian, Vladimir) Putin in order to harmonize the demands and needs of Russia and Ukraine”.
“We are on the right track,” said the American president.
During their telephone conversation on Tuesday, Presidents Trump and Putin agreed that advancement towards peace “must start with a ceasefire on energy facilities and infrastructure”, according to a white house statement.
He must also intervene as a result of “technical negotiations on the implementation of a sea cease-fire in the Black Sea, a total ceasefire and permanent peace,” added the American presidency which announced that “these negotiations will start immediately in the Middle East”.
The two presidents also underlined “the need to improve bilateral relations”, and discussed the Middle East “as a potential cooperation region to prevent future conflicts”.
According to the White House, Trump and Putin agree that the improvement of bilateral relations “would offer enormous advantages, in particular major economic agreements and geopolitical stability once peace restored.”
