Trump and Putin hold high-stakes phone call over war in UkraineA high-stakes phone call between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin is underway, as the White House continues its push for an end to Moscow's 3-year-old invasion of Ukraine after last week's peace talks in Istanbul, Turkey.
"The subjects of the call will be, stopping the 'bloodbath' that is killing, on average, more than 5,000 Russian and Ukrainian soldiers a week, and trade," Trump wrote in a post to his conservative social media website on Saturday.
"I will then be speaking to President Zelenskyy of Ukraine and then, with President Zelenskyy, various members of NATO," Trump added.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters at Monday morning's briefing the public can expect to hear from President Trump or the White House following the calls.

No matter what happens, Trump will take credit for trying to end the war.

He long ago capitulated to Putin. As he likes to put it, he has no cards.

Are more people finally starting to understand that Trump was full of shit?
