0

From Fox News: In a major step toward ending the years-long war, Russian President Vladimir Putin has agreed to a bilateral meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt made the announcement during Tuesday’s press briefing. She clarified that “if necessary” there could be a trilateral meeting involving the U.S. after Putin and Zelenskyy meet.

“President Trump spoke with President Putin by phone, and he agreed to begin the next phase of the peace process, a meeting between President Putin and President Zelenskyy, which would be followed, if necessary, by a trilateral meeting between President Putin, President Zelensky and President Trump,” Leavitt said on Tuesday.

Leavitt said that Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff would “continue to coordinate with Russia and Ukraine to make this happen as soon as possible.”

“Before President Trump’s landslide victory last November, there was no end in sight to this bloodshed. Now there may finally be light at the end of the tunnel and an opportunity for lasting peace. That’s because President Trump is the peace president and American leadership is back on the world stage,” Leavitt announced.
