WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday he had spoken on the phone with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymir Zelensky about possible negotiations to end the war in Ukraine.
Putin and Trump have spoken for an hour and a half and have agreed to start a process of dialogue "immediately" according to the president of the United States. The two commissioners will meet face to face in Saudi Arabia for this purpose. The Kremlin confirms the call and concludes that, according to spokesman Dimitri Pescov, "the time has come to work together".

Zelensky has also confirmed that he has spoken with Trump "extensively" over the phone about the prospects for peace over the war in Ukraine. The President of Ukraine is grateful for the call, but despite public declarations in favor of peace, he has not assured that he agrees with these negotiations that Trump and Putin will launch: "We need to have more contact and organize more meetings," he said.

At the end of the week, almost simultaneously, the new Secretary of Defense of the United States, Pete Hegseth, made eloquent statements before a meeting of the Defense Ministers of the NATO participants in Brussels. He said that Kiev could not think that "it is realistic that it will reach the recovery of the 2014 territories or that it will join NATO." Moreover, according to Hegseth, US soldiers should not be involved in possible security operations or NATO missions to distance Russia.
European countries, for their part, were waiting for these first contacts and statements after Trump’s inauguration, since the EU’s role in this process can be left very far behind. The Foreign Ministers of several EU countries, meeting in Paris, stressed that the participation of Europe and Ukraine in these negotiations is "indispensable".

In fact, the reactions of the European commissioners have been one after the other. German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius said: "It would have been better if the United States had not granted concessions to Russia before the negotiations began." For his part, John Healey of the United Kingdom has said that Russia will continue to be "a threat beyond Ukraine".
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, for his part, has assured that on Wednesday "many things happened" and that we will see their consequences and discussions in the coming days and weeks: "We all want Ukraine to be in the best possible position when the talks begin," he said. This military alliance granted a $50 billion grant to Ukraine in 2024, $10 billion more than promised
