Donald Trump 'turning his back on Ukraine' in ceasefire talks with Russia | LBC
Donald Trump is set to visit Vladimir Putin in Russia after the pair spoke at length, agreeing to "begin negotiations immediately".
Andrew Marr gets reaction from Kurt Volker. Volker is a former US Ambassador to NATO and Current Distinguished Fellow at the Center for European Policy Analysis.
"We agreed to work together, very closely, including visiting each other's nations," Trump posted on social media.
The pair agreed to have "our respective teams start negotiations immediately" where the war in Ukraine is concerned.
Putin last spoke to a sitting U.S. president in February 2022, when he engaged in a call with Joe Biden over troops in Ukraine.
"We will begin by calling President Zelenskyy, of Ukraine, to inform him of the conversation, something which I will be doing right now," Trump said on Wednesday.
Trump claims the leaders both "believe very strongly" in common sense and have committed in a phone call to visit each other's countries.
The US president added he will be "informing" Ukraine's leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy of their conversation.
