"I just finished a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and it was very productive. President Putin congratulated me and the United States on the great achievement of peace in the Middle East, which, he said, had been dreamed of for centuries. I truly believe that success in the Middle East will help us in negotiations to end the war between Russia and Ukraine. President Putin thanked First Lady Melania for her involvement in working with children. He was very grateful and said that this work would continue," Trump wrote.
According to him, they also spent a lot of time discussing trade between Russia and the United States after the end of the war with Ukraine.
"At the end of the conversation, we agreed that a meeting of our high-level advisors would take place next week. The first meetings on the US side will be led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, along with other individuals to be appointed later. The meeting place has not yet been determined. President Putin and I will meet in an agreed-upon location, Budapest, Hungary, to discuss the possibility of ending this 'inglorious' war between Russia and Ukraine," Trump added.
He noted that tomorrow he will meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the Oval Office, where he will discuss the conversation with Putin and much more.
