Trump announces plans for meeting with Putin to discuss Ukraine war

U.S. president-elect Donald Trump announced plans to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss the war in Ukraine. Trump emphasized the need to end the conflict but did not provide a specific timeline for the meeting. The Kremlin stated that Putin is open to meeting Trump without any preconditions. A Kremlin spokesman noted that both leaders need a mutual desire to engage in dialogue to address existing issues. Trump suggested a six-month timeframe to resolve the conflict, differing from his previous claim of ending it in 24 hours. His upcoming inauguration on January 20 has raised hopes and concerns regarding the potential impact on Ukraine.
