💨 Abstract

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has urged former U.S. President Donald Trump to help facilitate ceasefire talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin, suggesting Western sanctions if Putin skips the negotiations. The Kremlin has not confirmed Putin's attendance, while Trump is considering attending. These would be the first direct talks since Russia's 2022 invasion. The Kremlin is preparing for the talks but has not disclosed details.
