Ukraine talks: Trump says US negotiators headed to Russia ‘right now’
The US president wouldn’t say when he would next speak to Putin, but said there had been ‘positive messages’ from Moscow on a possible truce
US President Donald Trump said Wednesday that negotiators were headed to Russia “right now” for talks on a possible ceasefire with Ukraine, after Kyiv agreed to a 30-day truce.
Trump did not give further details on the negotiating team.
“People are going to Russia right now as we speak. And hopefully we can get a ceasefire from Russia,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office during a meeting with Ireland’s prime minister.
“And if we do, I think that would be 80 per cent of the way to getting this horrible bloodbath finished.”
US Vice-President J.D. Vance, who was also in the meeting, added that there were “conversations that are happening on the phone and in person with some of our representatives over the next couple of days”.
