US President Donald Trump engaged in separate phone conversations with both Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Sunday, coinciding with his 80th birthday. The discussions centered on the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, which has persisted for over four years. Both leaders reportedly shared their perspectives on potential pathways to resolve the war. The calls suggest a renewed effort by Trump to play a mediating role in the conflict, despite not being in office. Details of the specific proposals or agreements discussed during the calls have not been publicly released. The timing of the conversations, on Trump’s birthday, has drawn attention from political observers. This represents a notable instance of direct communication between the involved parties facilitated by a former US president.
