The President of the United States, Donald Trump, has communicated through his social media that he has had positive and productive conversations with Russian President Vladimir Putin regarding the resolution of the conflict in Ukraine. In an attempt to end what he described as a "horrible and bloody war," Trump expressed optimism about the possibility of finding a solution.
Amid this situation, thousands of Ukrainian soldiers are currently surrounded by Russian forces in a critical position. The Ukrainian army had launched an offensive in the Russian region of Kursk in August, successfully gaining ground. However, the Russian counterattack has led to a rapid deterioration of the situation for Ukraine in recent weeks.
The Kremlin confirmed that Trump's special envoy for the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, met with Russian President Vladimir Putin. According to Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, Putin supports Trump's position on the resolution of the Ukrainian conflict, although he expresses concern about certain outstanding issues. Putin stated during a press conference that Russia is in favor of a possible 30-day ceasefire, although he noted that there are certain reservations regarding this.
In this context, Trump has expressed solidarity with the difficult situation facing the Ukrainian soldiers and has indicated that there are reasons to be cautiously optimistic about a potential resolution to the conflict.
