Former U.S. President Donald Trump held separate conversations on Sunday with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Zelenskyy announced the call on Telegram, stating they discussed potential pathways to peace and Ukraine’s strengthened position on the battlefield, with plans for further discussion at the G7 summit. According to AFP, Trump and Putin agreed to a forthcoming visit to Russia by U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law. The nature of Trump’s discussions with Putin was not detailed by Zelenskyy. The agreement for Kushner and Witkoff’s visit suggests a potential backchannel effort to engage with Russia directly. These communications occur amidst ongoing conflict in Ukraine and international efforts to find a resolution.
