The US President confirmed he will speak directly with Russian President on 18 March, focusing on efforts to secure a 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine that Kyiv has already accepted.
The US State Secretary had a phone call with the Russian FM to inform him on the US operation against the Houthis and "continue working towards restoring" US-Russia communication.
The Ukrainian president highlighted that there is still "a long way to go" to end the war, creating tension with the Trump administration's push for a quicker resolution.
