We will talk about territories, Trump tells reporters on the presidential plane Air Force One about the announced conversation.
A lot of work has been done over the weekend. We want to see if we can stop the war.
The American president adds that the conversation is also expected to cover power plants. He describes the conversation with the Russian leader as partly dealing with "dividing up certain assets".
No time has been announced for the conversation.
That's the case. Such a conversation is being prepared for Tuesday, said Peskov on Monday.
Major Reservations?
It was on Thursday that Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff presented the proposal for a 30-day ceasefire in the Russian war of aggression to President Vladimir Putin in Moscow.
Putin announced before the meeting that he has major reservations about agreeing to a ceasefire.
Ukraine, on the other hand, has already accepted the American proposal, but simultaneously warned that Putin is not actually interested in stopping the attacks on the country.
Russia has stolen almost another week, a week of war that only Russia wants, said Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky in a speech on Sunday evening where he promised "to do everything to further intensify diplomacy".
Out of the Group?
Meanwhile, reports emerge that the Justice Department in Washington DC has quietly informed officials in Europe that the US is withdrawing from a multinational investigation group on the Ukraine war. The group investigates which leaders bear responsibility for the war of aggression, including Vladimir Putin, writes The New York Times.
Former President Joe Biden's administration joined the group in 2023. The US has until now been the only non-European country there, and has sent an American prosecutor to The Hague, where they have collaborated with colleagues from Ukraine, Romania, and the Baltic countries. The group falls under the EU's judicial cooperation Eurojust and is intended to hold leaders from Russia, Belarus, North Korea, and Iran accountable for aggressive actions against another country.
Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff admitted in an interview with CNN on Sunday that the Ukraine negotiations are "complicated", but said simultaneously that he is hopeful about Trump's and Putin's expected conversation this week.
The two presidents will have a really good and positive conversation this week, said Witkoff.
