US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that Russian President Vladimir Putin had called him to offer help in a ceasefire between Iran and Israel. Trump says that he denied Putin’s help and said that he should leave Iran-Israel and help end his struggle with Ukraine.
Trump said this to reporters while going to the Neto Summit held in the Hague of the Netherlands on Tuesday. He said, ‘Vladimir called me. He said- Can I help you in the case of Iran? I said no, I do not need your help in Iran’s case. I need help in your case (Russia-Ukraine War’s case).
Trump said that he hopes that there will be an agreement with Russia soon, which will end the war going on in Ukraine. In the context of the loss in the war, Trump said, “Six thousand soldiers were killed last week.” However, during this time Trump did not say where the talks have reached the Russian-Ukraine war and what could be involved in the agreement.
Trump will meet Ukrainian President Volodimir Jailonsky in Hague
The Trump Neto Summit is also going to meet Ukraine President Volodimir Jailonsky. A few days ago, there was a slight noise between the two leaders and according to the news agency AFP, the organizers of the summit have deliberately shortened the main task session to avoid any high-profile confrontation.
After the ceasefire between Iran and Israel, Trump’s focus is on the ceasefire between Russia-Ukraine for which he has been engaged since coming to power.
Trump had said during his election campaign that he would establish peace between Russia-Ukraine within 24 hours of becoming President but it could not be possible after which a target of 100 days was kept. Even after the 100-day deadline has gone out, Trump has not gained anything special in the Russia-Ukraine case and the war between the two countries is going on.
However, Russia and Ukraine have come to the conversation table due to Trump’s efforts. Recently, two rounds of talks have been held between the two sides in Türkiye. In the second round of talks on June 2, the two sides agreed to the exchange of their soldiers imprisoned in each other’s countries. This included bringing back the bodies of soldiers killed in the war.
Russia has returned the bodies of more than 6,000 Ukrainian soldiers and Ukraine in return has given it the bodies of 59 soldiers. Both sides have also exchanged an MoU, keeping their opinion for a roadmap towards the peace agreement.
