We expect that he'll come here, and I'll go there — and we're going to meet probably in Saudi Arabia the first time,

Trump told reporters in the Oval Office about his plans to meet Putin

The Russian president invited the U.S. president to visit Moscow and expressed his readiness to receive American officials in Russia in those areas of mutual interest, including, of course, the topic of the Ukrainian settlement,

Peskov said

President Putin wants that peace now, and he didn’t want to have that peace with Biden.”

Trump claimed

I don’t care so much about anything other than I want to stop having millions of people killed,

Trump said

For Putin that's a coup if Trump would accept

an invitation to visit Moscow ... Herbst said

It seems very standard for how Trump operates,

said Andrew Weiss, the vice president for studies at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace

Not that I'm aware of. That doesn't mean they don't exist,

Leavitt told reporters at a press briefing

We agreed to work together, very closely, including visiting each other's Nations,

Trump wrote on Truth Social

I think I could say with great confidence: he wants to see it [the war in Ukraine] end,

he noted

I want to thank President Putin for his time and effort with respect to this call, and for the release, yesterday, of Marc Fogel, a wonderful man that I personally greeted last night at the White House

In his Truth Social post, Trump said

I think we're on the way to any peace,

he told reporters of those conversations

Probably we'll have a first meeting and then we'll see what we can do about a second meeting,

he said of the Saudi summit

We want to stop the millions of deaths taking place in the War with Russia/Ukraine

Announcing the negotiations, Trump wrote

Millions of people have died in a War that would not have happened if I were President, but it did happen, so it must end

He wrote

We have also agreed to have our respective teams start negotiations immediately, and we will begin by calling President Zelenskyy, of Ukraine, to inform him of the conversation, something which I will be doing right now.

He added

I'm not going to tell you my plan, this should've been done by Biden, not by me this has been going on for a long time,

he said

We ultimately expect to meet,
