Trump signals talks on Ukrainian territories and Zaporizhzhya NPP with Kremlin

He announced this to journalists aboard a plane returning from Florida to Washington.

"On Tuesday, I will speak with President Putin. A lot of work has been done over the weekend," Trump said.

He claimed he will discuss with Putin the proposal for a 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine.

"We will talk about land. We will talk about power plants," Trump added, likely referring to discussions on Ukrainian territories and the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant.

According to Trump, both sides are already talking about "the division of certain assets."

"We want to see if we can put an end to this war," he alleged.

"Maybe we can, maybe we can't, but I think we have a very good chance."

Earlier, Trump had claimed that the U.S. delegation discussed territorial concessions with Ukrainian officials during peace negotiations in Saudi Arabia. He also mentioned discussions about the nuclear power plant and "who it will go to," referring to the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia NPP.

The U.S. ceasefire initiative in Ukraine

The proposal for a 30-day ceasefire was introduced by U.S. representatives during negotiations with Ukraine in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on March 11. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed that Ukraine was ready for a temporary truce if Russia agreed.

On March 13, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin claimed that Russia was willing to agree to a ceasefire in Ukraine — "but there are nuances."

Commenting on Putin’s statement, Trump called the response "promising but incomplete."

Meanwhile, Zelenskyy described Putin's response as manipulative and a sign that the Russian leader was preparing to reject the ceasefire initiative.

On the same day, Putin met with Trump’s special envoy for the Middle East, Steve Witkoff.
