President Donald Trump told reporters he will speak to Vladimir Putin on Tuesday."We will be talking about land. We will be talking about power plants," Trump said.Ukraine has said it is ready to accept a US proposal for a 30-day cease-fire with Russia.President Donald Trump said he plans to speak to Russia's leader, Vladimir Putin, on Tuesday about ending the Ukraine war."We will see if we have something to announce maybe by Tuesday. I will be speaking to President Putin on Tuesday," Trump told reporters on board Air Force One on Sunday, per multiple media reports."A lot of work's been done over the weekend. We want to see if we can bring that war to an end," Trump added.The Russian invasion of Ukraine has now run over three years since it began in February 2022, with both sides estimated to have lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers.Kyiv is estimated to have had 80,000 of its troops killed and another 400,000 wounded, while Western analyses say Russia likely has more than 700,000 troops killed and wounded.Trump has often cited the loss of life as a key reason he's pushing for peace as soon as possible. Describing himself as a mediator between Russia and Ukraine, he's sought to pull both parties toward a cease-fire agreement a change from the Biden administration's strategy of trying to starve Moscow into capitulation.That effort has introduced new tensions in the US-Ukraine relationship. Earlier this month, the Trump administration paused all military aid and intelligence sharing with Ukraine.Those were later restored after Ukraine said it was ready to accept a US proposal for an immediate 30-day cease-fire with Russia. Trump had also threatened Putin and Russia with sanctions if they didn't agree to a cease-fire with Ukraine."We will be talking about land. We will be talking about power plants," Trump said of the coming negotiations with Putin.With Ukraine agreeing to the temporary cease-fire terms, the Trump administration must now focus on securing Russia's approval."The ball is now in their court," State Secretary Marco Rubio said last week of Russia.Moscow has stepped up missile and drone attacks on Ukrainian cities despite ongoing talks in the last two weeks, prompting fears of a long road toward a peace agreement.Kyiv and Europe, meanwhile, have repeatedly voiced concerns that the US may try to broker peace terms without direct Ukrainian input."No decision can be made without Ukraine on how to end the war in Ukraine," President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in February, as Trump indicated his team had been speaking with Putin.The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.
