U.S. President Donald Trump has revealed intentions to convene fresh discussions with Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin this week, aiming to address ongoing hostilities in the region. The White House leader emphasized optimism during a Sunday press conference, asserting, “We’re going to get it done,” while declining to outline specific agenda items for the upcoming dialogue.

Trump indicated he would engage with Putin “very soon, over the next couple of days,” though no details were provided about potential outcomes or topics. Moscow has remained silent on the development but previously commended Washington’s mediation efforts, signaling openness to continued negotiations.

The president also criticized the current state of affairs in the conflict zone, stating, “I am not thrilled with what’s happening there … I think it’s going to get settled.” He noted that several European leaders are set to arrive in Washington “on Monday or Tuesday” for parallel discussions on the matter.

Diplomatic exchanges between U.S. and Russian officials have surged since Trump took office in January, marked by frequent communications and multiple trips by U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff to Moscow. A pivotal meeting between Trump and Putin occurred in Alaska in mid-August, where no immediate ceasefire agreement was reached. However, both leaders described the talks as highly productive, with Trump later suggesting Ukraine’s NATO aspirations and claims to Crimea are unrealistic.

Following the summit, Trump shifted away from insisting on an immediate halt to violence, instead advocating for a comprehensive peace framework. Russia has maintained that lasting resolution hinges on Ukraine abandoning NATO ambitions, committing to demilitarization, and acknowledging territorial changes.

Putin had previously extended an invitation for Trump to visit Moscow, but the U.S. president recently stated no preparations are underway for such a trip, though the offer remains “on the table.”
