“President Trump said he had an ‘excellent’ two-hour conversation by phone with Russian President Vladimir Putin Monday, though the two failed to agree on an immediate cease-fire in Ukraine that has been pressed by the Trump administration and European allies,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“After their call, neither Trump nor Putin signaled that they had reached a breakthrough in the negotiations. Trump said that Ukraine and Russia will continue their conversations toward a cease-fire, and that the Vatican has offered to host negotiations. It’s unclear if the U.S. will remain as a broker in the peace process.”
NBC News: “While he said how well the call had gone, Putin also seemed to be avoiding any suggestion he’d budge from his position. He did not express any willingness to meet in person with Trump.”
Washington Post: Trump, Putin talk as Ukraine and Europe push for immediate ceasefire.
