Trump to Hold Unprecedented Talks with Putin, Zelensky, and NATO on Monday In a surprising development, former President Donald Trump has announced plans to conduct a series of high-stakes phone calls on Monday morning. These calls will involve separate conversations with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, and NATO representatives. The calls, scheduled for 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time, are unprecedented in their scope and timing, given the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Trump's announcement, shared on social media, states: "I will be speaking, by telephone, to President Vladimir Putin of Russia on Monday, at 10:00 a.m. The subjects of the call will be, stopping the 'bloodbath' that is killing, on average, more than 5000 Russian and Ukrainian soldiers a week, and trade." The announcement further indicates that subsequent calls will follow with Zelensky and NATO. The timing of these calls, particularly their proximity to each other, has generated considerable speculation. Political analysts are closely monitoring the situation, as the potential outcomes could significantly impact the war in Ukraine.

This statement adds another layer of intrigue to the situation, raising expectations for potential breakthroughs in peace negotiations. The events of Monday will undoubtedly be closely scrutinized by the global community. The outcome of these conversations could have far-reaching consequences for the ongoing conflict and the future of relations between Russia, Ukraine, and the West.
