President Donald Trump said Thursday on Truth Social that he will meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Budapest, Hungary, for a second round of in-person talks to end the war in Ukraine.

Trump's comments came after a phone call with Putin and a day before Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is set to visit the White House.

Trump said he and Putin "agreed that there will be a meeting of our High Level Advisors, next week," though the location has not been determined. The U.S. delegation will be led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, after which Trump and Putin will meet, he said.

"President Putin and I will then meet in an agreed upon location, Budapest, Hungary, to see if we can bring this 'inglorious' War, between Russia and Ukraine, to an end," Trump wrote.

Trump said his call with Putin was "very productive" and that he believed "great progress was made with today’s telephone conversation."
