President Trump and President Putin are preparing for a phone call, marking their first communication since Ukraine accepted a U.S.-supported cease-fire. Trump's agenda includes discussions on a cease-fire and Ukrainian power plants, while Putin's response remains conditional and focused on gaining further concessions. Meanwhile, the U.S. is stepping away from joint efforts with an international group investigating leaders responsible for the invasion of Ukraine, indicating a shift away from holding Putin accountable. In Ukraine, the cultural landscape remains resilient, with sushi providing comfort in frontline towns amid conflict.
Preparations are underway for a highly anticipated phone call today between President Trump and President Vladimir Putin. The call would be the first known conversation between the two leaders since Ukraine agreed to support a U.S.-backed monthlong cease-fire.
While Trump has stated his desire to broker some sort of truce between Russia and Ukraine as quickly as possible, Putin seems to be seeking to exploit the moment to win more concessions.
