President Donald Trump has wrapped up his phone call with Russian president Vladimir Putin, and announced the results in a new Truth Social post.
The phone call comes just one day before Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy comes to the White House to meet with Trump.
About two hours earlier Thursday morning, just after 11:00 a.m. ET, Trump had announced he was speaking on the phone with Putin.
Below is the the update, as Trump shared details of the phone call:
I have just concluded my telephone conversation with President Vladimir Putin, of Russia, and it was a very productive one.
President Putin congratulated me and the United States on the Great Accomplishment of Peace in the Middle East, something that, he said, has been dreamed of for centuries. I actually believe that the Success in the Middle East will help in our negotiation in attaining an end to the War with Russia/Ukraine.
President Putin thanked the First Lady, Melania, for her involvement with children. He was very appreciative, and said that this will continue.
We also spent a great deal of time talking about Trade between Russia and the United States when the War with Ukraine is over.
At the conclusion of the call, we agreed that there will be a meeting of our High Level Advisors, next week. The United States’ initial meetings will be led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, together with various other people, to be designated. A meeting location is to be determined.
President Putin and I will then meet in an agreed upon location, Budapest, Hungary, to see if we can bring this “inglorious” War, between Russia and Ukraine, to an end.
President Zelenskyy and I will be meeting tomorrow, in the Oval Office, where we will discuss my conversation with President Putin, and much more. I believe great progress was made with today’s telephone conversation.
