In a significant announcement, President Donald Trump revealed on Wednesday that he anticipates soon discovering whether discussions between President Vladimir Putin and Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will proceed. Speaking to reporters at the Oval Office, Trump stated, "I'm having a conversation with him very shortly, and I'll know pretty much what we're going to be doing."
While Trump did not clearly specify whether he referred to Putin or Zelenskyy, an unnamed White House official indicated it was the Ukrainian leader. This move underscores Trump's interest in resolving the ongoing tensions in eastern Europe, which he believes can be concluded simplistically.
Asserting the severity of the ongoing conflict, Trump highlighted, "Not since the second World War has there been anything even close to this." Although recognizing they're not American soldiers involved, he remains confident in his "power to end things."
