Following an afternoon of meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and other European leaders, President Donald Trump announced that he has called Russian President Vladimir Putin to begin scheduling a meeting between Putin and Zelensky.

"At the conclusion of the meetings, I called President Putin, and began the arrangements for a meeting, at a location to be determined, between President Putin and President Zelenskyy. After that meeting takes place, we will have a Trilat, which would be the two Presidents, plus myself. Again, this was a very good, early step for a War that has been going on for almost four years. Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, are coordinating with Russia and Ukraine. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
Addressing reporters after Zelensky arrived at the White House on Monday afternoon, Trump said that he was going to have a phone call with Putin "right after these meetings today." Trump met with Putin in Anchorage, Alaska on Friday, where Trump said the two leaders agreed on "many things," but not on others.
