President Donald Trump spoke to Russian President Vladimir Putin on the phone to discuss ending the war in Ukraine, their first known call of Trump’s second term. They agreed to work closely together, including visiting each other’s nations, and starting negotiations immediately. Putin’s adviser Dmitry Peskov said the conversation also covered the Middle East settlement, the Iranian nuclear program, and bilateral Russian-American relations in the economic area. Putin invited Trump to visit Moscow and expressed readiness to receive American officials in Russia to discuss areas of mutual interest, including the Ukrainian settlement. The two leaders agreed to continue personal contacts and set up a personal meeting in the future. The phone call lasted about 90 minutes, and Trump said he would be calling Ukrainian President Zelenskyy to inform him of the conversation. This is a developing story, and updates will be provided as more information becomes available. Rebecca Shabad is a politics reporter for NBC News based in Washington.
