US President Donald Trump says he will “continue to work with both sides” to end the conflict in Ukraine, following Russian President Vladimir Putin’s proposal for direct talks with Kyiv and calls from European leaders for a ceasefire.
“A potentially great day for Russia and Ukraine!” Trump posts on his Truth Social platform.
“Think of the hundreds of thousands of lives that will be saved as this never ending ‘bloodbath’ hopefully comes to an end… I will continue to work with both sides to make sure that it happens.”
The comment comes after Putin proposed direct talks with Ukraine on May 15 in Turkey that he said should be aimed at bringing a durable peace.
President Volodymyr Zelensky’s office and Ukraine’s foreign ministry did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the proposal.
