Trump to hold talks with Putin on Ukraine Peace Post-Inauguration

President-elect Donald Trump is set to engage in discussions with Russian President Vladimir Putin shortly after his inauguration.

The primary focus will be exploring an in-person meeting to negotiate an end to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

Trump had previously promised to resolve the war swiftly, but with the three-year conflict still ongoing, a direct dialogue with Putin is seen as a way to kickstart peace efforts.

His national security team has been preparing for the call, with Switzerland and Serbia offering to host. Unlike President Biden, who has avoided direct talks with Putin, Trump believes that direct engagement is essential for finding a resolution.

The outcome of these discussions could shape the future U.S.-Russia relationship and influence support for Ukraine’s security and rebuilding efforts.
