Call to come amid reports that Russia is demanding halt to western arms deliveries as condition for truce
will hold a high-stakes call on Tuesday afternoon to discuss ending the war in Ukraine, amid reports that Russia is demanding a halt to all western arms deliveries to Ukraine as a condition for a truce.“I look very much forward to the call with President Putin,” the US president wrote on his Truth Social platform late on Monday night. “Many elements of a Final Agreement have been agreed to, but much remains,” he added.
The Russian leader has also renewed calls for broader negotiations on a long-term settlement to the war. His demands are likely to include the demilitarisation of Ukraine, an end to western military aid and a commitment to keeping Kyiv out of Nato. Kyiv will be alarmed by Trump’s hints that the US may put pressure on Ukraine to cede significant territory.
Trump’s rhetoric on dividing territory has echoes of the 1945 Yalta conference, where Joseph Stalin, Winston Churchill, and Franklin Roosevelt divided Europe between the American-aligned west and the Soviet-controlled east. Speaking at a security conference in New Delhi, Ukraine’s deputy foreign minister, Andrii Sybiha, outlined Kyiv’s key red lines for any peace agreement, including no recognition of Russian annexations , no restrictions on Ukraine’s armed forces, and no Russian veto on Ukraine’s EU and Nato membership.
