Trump and Putin speak ahead of Zelensky meeting

President Trump is holding a call with Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss the war with Ukraine, he confirmed on Thursday in a Truth Social Post."The conversation is ongoing, a lengthy one, and I will report the contents, as will President Putin, at its conclusion," Trump wrote.Why it matters: The call takes place a day before Trump will host Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House. Trump and Zelensky will discuss the possibility of Ukraine receiving Tomahawk long-range missiles. Driving the news: Trump said last week that he told Zelensky he might give Putin a new ultimatum: either Russia holds serious peace talks or Ukraine gets Tomahawks.The missiles could reach Moscow, and Zelensky has argued they could force Putin to the negotiating table.Ukraine also wants to speed up deliveries of other U.S.-made weaponry, particularly Patriot missile defense systems.
