President Trump says the US will speak to the Russian leader about “power plants” and “dividing up certain assets” in Ukraine talks.

President Trump said negotiators have begun discussing the division of assets between Russia and Ukraine in an effort to bring to an end the war.

President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin are expected to speak this week as the U.S. tries to broker a ceasefire in the Russia-Ukraine war, according to Trump special envoy Steve Witkoff.

A ceasefire in Russia’s 3-year-old war in Ukraine hinges on Moscow accepting the U.S. proposal of a 30-day pause in fighting as a confidence-building measure for both sides to hammer out a longer-term peace plan.

Ukraine's allies have agreed to put pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin to agree to a legitimate cease-fire proposal after a virtual summit of Western nations' leaders that didn't include the United States.

Russia and Ukraine traded attacks over the weekend, just shortly after Russian President Vladimir Putin met with U.S. officials about a ceasefire deal. Both sides reported more than 100 enemy drones over their territories,
