US President Donald Trump said he would speak to Russian leader Vladimir Putin on Thursday, the latest call in his effort to broker an end to the war in Ukraine.
“Will be speaking to President Putin of Russia at 10:00 A.M. Thank you!” Trump announced on social media.
Trump is also likely to hold a call with Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Friday, according to a person familiar with the matter.
The calls follow a decision by the Trump administration earlier this week to pause the transfer of artillery rounds and air defenses to Ukraine, a move that caught Kyiv and allies off-guard.
