Trump confirms negotiations with Ukraine and Russia

PanARMENIAN.Net - U.S. President Donald Trump has announced that his administration is actively engaged in discussions with Ukraine, Russia, and other stakeholders.

"We're dealing with Ukraine and Russia. We have meetings and talks scheduled with various parties, including Ukraine and Russia. And I think those discussions are actually going pretty well," he was quoted as saying by RFE/RL.

A few hours prior, Keith Kellogg, Trump's special envoy for Ukraine and Russia, emphasized that both nations must be prepared to compromise if they wish to reach a resolution to the war, Ukrainska Pravda reports.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy "has already indicated he will soften his position on land," Kellogg noted. "And [Russian leader Vladimir] Putin is going to have to soften his positions as well."

"We’re going to have discussions with everybody over time and probably in the near term," Kellogg continued. "And it’s good for both sides."
