U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin held discussions on a potential ceasefire to end hostilities in Ukraine.

The call, aimed at convincing Putin to accept a U.S.-proposed 30-day truce, reflects Trump's efforts for a long-term peace plan. However, Ukraine maintains that its sovereignty cannot be compromised.
