Trump to Speak with Putin Ahead of Zelensky Visit to Washington

US President Donald Trump is set to hold a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday to discuss the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, according to reports from Washington.

The conversation comes just one day before Trump is scheduled to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House, where talks are expected to focus on potential US supplies of Tomahawk missiles to Kyiv.

The timing of the two high-level discussions underscores Washington’s balancing act as it seeks to maintain dialogue with both Moscow and Kyiv amid renewed efforts to bring an end to the conflict. Neither the White House nor the Kremlin has yet released details of the planned call.
