President Donald Trump on Saturday said that he'll speak separately to Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Monday as he ramps up efforts to help the two nations reach a ceasefire.
"I will be speaking, by telephone, to President Vladimir Putin of Russia on Monday, at 10:00 a.m.," Trump wrote in an all-caps post on Truth Social on Saturday, adding, "I will then be speaking to President Zelenskyy of Ukraine."
Trump said he would speak to Putin about "stopping the 'bloodbath' that is killing, on average, more than 5,000 Russian and Ukrainian soldiers a week, and trade."
“Hopefully it will be a productive day, a ceasefire will take place, and this very violent war, a war that should have never happened, will end,” he added.
Trump has urged Zelenskyy and Putin for months to reach a ceasefire deal to end the three-year war. Ending the war was a key campaign promise of Trump's during the 2024 presidential election cycle.
