He wrote about this on TruthSocial.
«Yesterday we had very good and productive discussions with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and there is a very good chance that this terrible, bloody war can finally end», the US president wrote.
Trump also said that at this moment, thousands of Ukrainian soldiers «are completely surrounded» and are in a vulnerable position. According to him, he asked Putin «to take pity on them». But he did not specify what exactly he was talking about.
«I persistently asked President Putin to spare their lives. It would have been a horrific massacre, not seen since the Second World War. God bless them all!», he wrote.

As you know, on 13 March, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that he agreed with the proposal to end hostilities in Ukraine, but that this should guarantee «long-term peace».
In his turn, US President Donald Trump commented on Russian President Vladimir Putin's statement and said that it was «promising, but not complete».
As a reminder, on 11 March, the Ukrainian delegation met with US representatives in Saudi Arabia. After the meeting, the head of the President's Office, Andrii Yermak, said that Ukraine had expressed its readiness to accept the US proposal for a temporary ceasefire for 30 days.
For his part, Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed that Ukraine accepts the US proposal for a temporary ceasefire for 30 days, now «if Russians agree, the silence will work».
Earlier, during a speech to Congress, US President Donald Trump said he had received a letter from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. According to Donald Trump, the letter states that Ukraine «is ready to sit down at the negotiating table as soon as possible to bring a sustainable peace», as well as to sign an agreement on minerals.
It should also be recalled that the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine is ready to sign a minerals agreement between Ukraine and the United States at any time and in any convenient format.
