Speaking to reporters at the White House on Jan 31, Trump emphasized his commitment to finding a resolution, hinting that he expects something “significant” to happen following his conversations with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Since taking office on January 20, President Trump has reiterated his willingness to engage in direct negotiations with Russia to bring an end to the devastating war in Ukraine.
