'Told Trump to…': Putin reveals phone call details with US President | Russia-Ukraine ceasefire

Russian President Vladimir Putin, after a call with U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday (May 19), said that Moscow was ready to work with Ukraine on a memorandum about a future peace accord and that efforts to end the war in Ukraine were on the right track. Putin thanked Trump for supporting the resumption of direct talks between Moscow and Kyiv, after the two sides met in Turkey last week for their first face-to-face negotiations since March 2022. He said that Trump noted Russia's support for peace, though the key question was how to move towards that goal.
