Trump's talks with Zelenskyy and Putin
On February 12, US President Donald Trump held a phone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The war in Ukraine was one of the topics discussed.
After that, President Trump had a phone call with Zelenskyy.
Following both conversations, Trump stated that he had "great talks" with both Russia and Ukraine. According to him, there is a "good possibility to end the war."
At the same time, several European and Ukrainian media outlets have suggested that Trump's direct conversation with Putin could indicate that the US might be negotiating peace in Ukraine without the participation of Ukraine itself or European countries.
