President Trump said yesterday that there was a good chance for the Russian war in Ukraine to end, following a conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Top diplomats from the Group of Seven leading democracies urged Russia yesterday to agree to a U.S.-proposed ceasefire in the Russia-Ukraine war.
“We called for Russia to reciprocate by agreeing to a ceasefire on equal terms and implementing it fully,” the diplomats said in a joint statement from the talks in Canada. “We discussed imposing further costs on Russia in case such a ceasefire is not agreed, including through further sanctions, caps on oil prices, as well as additional support for Ukraine, and other means.”
The White House said U.S. President Donald Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, spoke with Putin on Thursday.
