Trump plans meeting with Putin to discuss Ukraine war resolution

President-elect Donald Trump announced plans for a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin to address the ongoing Ukraine war. Trump described the conflict as a "bloody mess" and expressed a desire to end it quickly. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed Putin's willingness to engage in dialogue with Trump, but no specific meeting dates have been set. Trump has shifted his timeline for resolving the conflict from 24 hours to six months. This approach contrasts with President Joe Biden's strategy, which has focused on significant military aid to Ukraine. Biden has been critical of Putin, while Trump has suggested a different stance, prompting concerns among Ukraine and its allies.
