Trump to speak to Putin and Zelensky
President Donald Trump is hoping separate phone calls Monday with Russian leader Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will make progress toward a ceasefire in the war in Ukraine.
Trump expressed his hopes for a ‘productive day’ Monday — and a ceasefire — in a social media post.
His effort will also include calls to NATO leaders.
Russia, which launched what Kyiv called a ‘record’ drone attack on Ukraine at the weekend, said Monday it would prefer to end the conflict through diplomacy and described the upcoming call as ‘important.’

‘Like so many of you, Jill and I have learned that we are strongest in the broken places,’ Biden added. ‘Thank you for lifting us up with love and support.’
