U.S. ready to send team to Russia for talks on Ukraine, President Trump says

According to Ukrinform, Trump made the statement while speaking to reporters near the White House.

During the conversation, journalists asked the U.S. President whether he was ready to send negotiators to Moscow to discuss a possible settlement of the war.

In response, Trump said he would not rule out such a scenario.

“Well, I would do it if I thought it would help. I’d love to see that war end,” he noted.

The U.S. President did not provide any further details regarding the possible format of the talks or the potential composition of the delegation.

In addition, Trump said the sides are planning to conduct a prisoner exchange in the near future.

Trump also drew attention to the number of war casualties on both sides.

“I’d like to see it stop, between Russia and Ukraine. It’s the worst thing since World War II in terms of life. 25,000 young soldiers every month. It’s crazy,” he stressed.

As reported by Ukrinform, Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Rustem Umerov discussed the return of Ukrainian prisoners held by Russia during a meeting with U.S. presidential envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.
