Trump urged a rapid end to the Ukraine war, and the Kremlin said Putin backed restoring full U.S.-Russia ties.
- On Tuesday, September 8, President Donald Trump held an hour-long phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, urging a swift end to the Ukraine war to restore full U.S.-Russia relations.
- The call followed weekend diplomatic visits to Moscow and Kyiv by U.S. special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, who aimed to revive stalled peace negotiations between the two nations.
- Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov claimed Putin assured Trump that Russia has "absolutely no aggressive plans" toward Europe, yet Russian forces resumed deadly air strikes on Kyiv within hours of the envoys' departure.
- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called the envoys' proposals "very good, worthwhile ideas," while Kremlin aide Ushakov confirmed Russia remains open to trilateral talks in the United Arab Emirates.
- Despite diplomatic efforts, Zelenskyy expects the conflict to continue into winter months, as Ukraine braces for further Russian strikes on its energy infrastructure.
