A years-long silence between the Oval Office and the Kremlin, broken in an effort for peace
00:05
in Ukraine.
00:06
In a 90-minute phone call, US President Donald Trump spoke with his Russian counterpart Vladimir
00:12
Putin.
00:13
Trump says Putin agreed to begin negotiations to bring the war in Ukraine to an end, after
00:18
almost three years of fighting.
00:21
We had a very good talk.
00:23
People didn't really know what President Putin's thoughts were.
00:29
I think I can say with great confidence he wants to see it ended also.
00:33
That's good.
00:34
And we're going to work toward getting it ended, and as fast as possible.
00:39
Trump says negotiations to find a lasting peace will begin immediately, and a temporary
00:43
ceasefire could be the first step towards achieving that goal.
00:47
The leaders also agreed to meet in person, extending invitations to the respected countries.
00:53
But they're expected to first meet in Saudi Arabia.
00:57
Shortly after talking to Putin, Trump also spoke with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
01:02
But there have been concerns any deal brokered by Trump could force Ukraine to make significant
01:29
concessions, including surrendering territory and abandoning ambitions of joining the NATO
01:35
military alliance.
01:37
Those fears all but confirmed by the US Defence Secretary at a meeting of Ukraine's allies
01:42
at the NATO headquarters in Brussels.
01:44
We must start by recognising that returning to Ukraine's pre-2014 borders is an unrealistic
01:51
objective.
01:52
Hegseth went on to say the US believes NATO membership is unlikely, but that any durable
01:57
peace agreement must include security measures to prevent the conflict reigniting.
02:02
While Ukraine is yet to address these outcomes, European allies have called for negotiations
02:07
to involve them and Ukraine, vowing to enhance their support for Kyiv until a lasting peace
02:12
is reached.
02:14
Ukrainians in New York voiced their concerns as well.
02:16
We want to make sure that the internationally recognised borders of Ukraine are respected.
02:22
We want to make sure that the interests of the free democratic world are also maintained.
02:28
But as battle rages on between Ukraine and Russia, in what has become Europe's bloodiest
02:32
conflict since World War II, Trump's diplomatic push is the biggest effort to secure peace
02:37
since the fighting started.
