President Donald Trump confirmed that he plans to hold Ukrainian war peace talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin this Tuesday, saying the land and power plants are one of the items on what Ukraine will look like after the war.
Negotiations on the future of the Ukrainian war continue behind closed doors between the United States and the Russian Federation, President Trump said he revealed that leadership talks are scheduled for Tuesday.
President Trump greeted journalists to Air Force 1 when he flew from Florida to Washington, D.C. late Sunday night, and was opened to think about the Ukrainian War before asking questions. A recent day summarizing recent advances in communication with Russia – until a few weeks ago, it was frozen in response to Moscow's invasion of Ukraine following the freeze on President Biden. President Trump said: By Tuesday we'll see if there's probably something to announce. ”
We have confirmed that personal debate with President Putin is moving ahead this week. As I explained earlier, President Trump continued. We want to see if we can end that war. Maybe we can't, but I think we have a very good opportunity. ”
President Trump also provided some details of what he expected in the discussion and said there will be ongoing discussions about “splitting certain assets.”
He said: “I think we're talking about land. As you know, it's very different from before the war. We talk about land, it's a big problem, so we talk about power plants.”
Although President Trump did not specify which power plant he refers to, future debates are almost certainly about the famous Zaporidia nuclear power plant, which has six reactors that generate a nameplate capacity of 5.7 megawatts.
The reality is that plant reactors are primarily in cold closures, and have been around for several years as wars intensifies around plants. Russian troops have occupied Zaporijazia since March 2022 and have suffered several damage during the war, accusing each other of being at risk of strikes.
It is known that President Trump and Putin were last spoken on February 12, and further personal discussions between the presidents have been cited as future outcomes across the entire course of US-Russia consultations since their first meeting in Saudi Arabia on February 18. Such a call seemed to have been a step towards a potential face-to-face negotiation between the two men last week amid new talks, but it soon became clear that this week would be earlier.
Speaking about the calls to come Sunday, Trump envoy Steve Witkoff, spoke about the prospect of a productive debate, saying, “The two presidents will have a really good positive argument this week.”
Nevertheless, news of Tuesday's debate accused Russia of obstructing the ceasefire to thwart the ceasefire amidst the backdrop of accusations from Ukraine and European powers. Ukrainian President Zelensky said last week that “operable” Putin saw it as the best interest in continuing the war, and that he has made minimal potential involvement with President Trump and continues to continue consultations without finding a conclusion.
Although Russia generally agrees with the idea of peace, it is “not enough” to say there are reservations and requests that will be met first, British Prime Minister Kiel said on Saturday. He announced this Thursday that military leaders of the consenting country will establish “a strong and robust plan to ensure Ukraine's future security in order to establish practical work to support potential deals.”
The scale of western deployments to Ukraine has retreated somewhat over the weeks to ensure security as “thousands” as debated by French President Emmanuel Macron. The idea of Ukrainian European military as a peacekeeping force is called an unacceptable escalation by Russia, but it is so close to actual peace negotiations that, of course, such comments are really hardline and it is unclear what they are negotiating.
