Russian President Vladimir Putin is willing to talk with US President Donald Trump, according to the Kremlin, but is waiting for signals from Washington before engaging in discussions. This comes amidst the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, which has strained relations between the two countries. Trump has expressed his desire to meet with Putin to negotiate an end to the fighting, while also threatening Russia with economic sanctions if the conflict continues. The Kremlin rejected Trump’s claim that lowering oil prices could end the war in Ukraine, citing national security concerns and the refusal of Americans and Europeans to address Russia’s grievances. Renewed violence near Kyiv has resulted in three deaths on the Ukrainian side, prompting retaliatory drone attacks on Russian territories. Both sides are positioning themselves ahead of potential negotiations, with Russia making advances on the battlefield and Ukraine preparing for possible territorial concessions. Putin’s willingness to engage in talks with Trump signals a potential shift in the conflict, as both leaders seek to find a resolution to the ongoing crisis.
