Trump says after discussions with Putin there are chances to end war in Ukraine

Trump said this on his social media platform, Truth Social, according to Ukrinform.

"We had very good and productive discussions with President Vladimir Putin of Russia yesterday, and there is a very good chance that this horrible, bloody war can finally come to an end," Trump wrote.

In this regard, he stressed that "at this very moment, thousands of Ukrainian troops are completely surrounded by the Russian military." He also added that Ukrainian forces were "in a very bad and vulnerable position."

"I have strongly requested to President Putin that their lives be spared. This would be a horrible massacre, one not seen since World War II," Trump said.

On March 13, Trump's special envoy, Steve Witkoff, visited Moscow where he met with Putin. The Kremlin noted that Putin had conveyed "additional information and signals" to Trump through Witkoff.
