Trump spoke with Putin and Zelensky ahead of NATO summit in Ankara

US President Donald Trump held calls with Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky on Saturday to discuss the war in Ukraine, ahead of a NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey. Peace negotiations remain deadlocked, with Moscow demanding Ukrainian forces withdraw from the Donetsk region — a condition Kyiv rejects. The NATO summit in Turkey is seen as another opportunity to push for a diplomatic breakthrough.
