“Hopefully it will be a productive day,” Trump said on his Truth Social platform, announcing the phone call with his Russian counterpart.
The US President said he would then speak with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and various members of the Nato alliance after the meeting.
Failed talks on Thursday
The Russian delegation on Thursday, which did not include Putin, presented conditions that Ukraine described as “non-starters”.
The talks in an Istanbul palace lasted less than two hours. Both countries said they had agreed to trade 1,000 prisoners of war each soon in what would be the biggest such exchange yet.
“Ukraine is ready to take the fastest possible steps to bring real peace, and it is important that the world holds a strong stance,” Zelensky said. He called for “tough sanctions” if Russia rejects a full and unconditional ceasefire.
“We have agreed that each side will present its vision of a possible future ceasefire and spell it out in detail,” Russia’s lead negotiator, Vladimir Medinsky, told reporters after the meeting. “After such a vision has been presented, we believe it would be appropriate, as also agreed, to continue our negotiations.”
