US President Donald Trump says “many elements” of a peace agreement in Ukraine have been agreed with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, ahead of their much anticipated phone call, the BBC reports.
Trump posted on Truth Social that he will speak with Putin on Tuesday morning.
He said that while there have been agreements, “much remains” to be worked upon.
“Each week brings 2,500 soldier deaths, from both sides, and it must end NOW. I look very much forward to the call with President Putin,” Trump wrote.
He earlier told reporters that “we’re going to see if we can work a peace agreement, a ceasefire and peace, and I think we’ll be able to do it.”
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov declined to comment on what the leaders would discuss, responding, “we never do that.”
