Putin and Trump Discuss Victory Day Ceasefire in Ukraine Phone Call
Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump held a 90-minute phone conversation on April 29, 2026, to discuss the ongoing war in Ukraine. Putin proposed a temporary 'Victory Day' truce for the May 9 celebrations, an initiative that Trump reportedly supported. While the call focused on potential peace efforts and the Middle East, Ukrainian officials expressed skepticism, noting that previous truces have been frequently violated by Russian forces during the now four-year-long all-out war.
