Meloni’s office stated that Zelancesi, French President Macron and German Chancellor Marse spoke to Trump after his phone with Putin.

Italy is ready to facilitate the contacts and work for peace to work for peace.”Putin and Trump spoke last week after a direct interaction between Moscow and Kiev in the Turki, which was the first after the Russia’s invasion of Ukraine since 2022 in the early months. Last week, talks failed to agree on a truss. US Vice President JD Vance first reiterated a warning that Washington could move away from the peace process.Putin stated that the memorandum would “define many positions, such as, for example, the principle of disposal, time of a possible peace agreement”. He said that if appropriate agreements were made, there could be a ceasefire, adding direct interaction between Russia and Ukraingev “because we are usually on the right path.” Putin said, “The main thing for us is to end the root causes of this crisis.”“We just need to determine the most effective ways to move towards peace.”He thanked Trump for re -starting the direct talks between Moscow and Kiev and said that Trump said in view of Russia’s support, although the important question was how to move towards peace. Trump, who has promised to bring a rapid end to Europe’s most deadly war since WWII, has repeatedly called upon a ceasefire after three years when Washington joined other Western countries in Ukraine.
