US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin held a two-hour phone call on Monday, discussing prospects for ending the war in Ukraine.

Reuters reported that Putin described the call as “informative and useful,” indicating that a ceasefire could be possible if mutual agreements are reached. He stated that both sides must find compromises and that Russia is ready to work on a memorandum for future peace talks.

The conversation followed brief contact between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. While Kyiv has signaled openness to a ceasefire, Moscow insists certain conditions must be met first.

Vice President JD Vance said the US recognizes a current impasse and may reconsider its role if progress stalls. Trump, who has vowed to end the war swiftly, supported recent talks in Istanbul, though no breakthrough was achieved. The White House has not yet commented on the calls, according to Reuters.
