LOS ANGELES, May 19 (Xinhua) — U.S. President Donald Trump said on social media that his two-hour phone call with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin on Monday morning “went very well.”
According to the head of the White House, Moscow and Kyiv will begin negotiations in which only they themselves will be able to set the conditions. “Russia and Ukraine will immediately begin negotiations to cease fire and, more importantly, to end the war,” D. Trump wrote. “The terms for this will be agreed upon between the two sides, as they should be, because they know the details of the negotiations that no one else knows,” he added.
D. Trump noted that Russia wants to “engage in large-scale trade with the United States” when the current catastrophic situation ends, and expressed confidence that Ukraine would also be able to benefit from trade.
“Russia has enormous potential to create huge numbers of jobs and great wealth. Its potential is limitless. Likewise, Ukraine can be a great beneficiary of trade as it rebuilds its country,” the report said.
Trump also said he shared details of the conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and other leaders, including European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, French President Emmanuel Macron, Italian Prime Minister Giorgio Meloni, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and Finnish President Alexander Stubb. –0–
