Much work has been done over the weekend. We want to see if we can get a stop to the war, says Trump to reporters on the presidential plane Air Force One.

We will talk about territories. We will talk about power plants, says Trump and describes it as the conversation will partly be about "dividing up certain assets".

On Thursday evening, the US envoy Steve Witkoff met President Vladimir Putin in Moscow to propose a 30-day ceasefire in the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine.

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 at the same time 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 Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in a speech on Sunday evening.

We will do everything to further intensify diplomacy, he continued.

Trump's envoy Witkoff admitted in an interview with CNN on Sunday that the situation is "complicated", but said at the same time that he is hopeful regarding Trump and Putin's expected conversation this week.

The two presidents will have a really good and positive conversation this week, said Witkoff.
