రష్యా: Russia: Trump and Putin Discuss Ceasefire in Ukraine
The recent phone call between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin could lead to a temporary ceasefire in the ongoing Ukraine conflict. The conversation took place on April 29, 2026, shortly after Ukrainian drones attacked a major oil facility in Russia, located about 1,500 kilometers from Ukraine.
During the hour-long discussion, both leaders addressed critical issues such as the Ukraine war and the Iran nuclear crisis. Putin proposed a ceasefire to coincide with the upcoming Victory Day on May 9. Trump responded positively, stating, “I said I’d much rather have you be involved with ending the war…” This reflects his priority of bringing an end to the conflict.
Key points from their conversation:
- Putin’s proposal aims for a ceasefire during Victory Day celebrations.
- Trump emphasized the importance of resolving the war with Ukraine.
- The discussion was described as professional and friendly by Kremlin sources.
In addition to the ceasefire proposal, Trump expressed concerns about Iran’s nuclear ambitions. He warned that Iran must not become a nuclear-armed state and highlighted that 80% of Iran’s missile production facilities have been destroyed. This underscores the broader geopolitical stakes involved.
As tensions remain high in Eastern Europe, many are hopeful that this dialogue might lead to de-escalation. However, no official announcement regarding the ceasefire has been made yet. Putin is expected to clarify his position soon.
