Trump intends to plead with Putin to end Ukraine's "bloody" on high-stakes call

President Donald Trump is scheduled to speak with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin on Monday, what the U.S. president is talking about the "bloody mud" of trying to stop the Ukrainian war.

Trump said the phone will be held at 10 a.m. - although he did not specify whether it was in Eastern Sunshine or in another time zone. The U.S. president said he will also talk to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and NATO members.

Leaders from the UK, France, Germany and Italy said they spoke with Trump on Sunday before the highly anticipated Trump-Putin appeal. The British government said in a statement that it urged "Putin to take peace talks seriously."

The leaders "also discussed Russia's failure to seriously participate in the sanctions for the ceasefire and peace negotiations," the statement said.

"Tomorrow, President Putin must show that he wants a peaceful acceptance of President Trump and a 30-day unconditional ceasefire from Ukraine and Europe," French President Emanuel Macron said in a statement.

Even though diplomatic activities continue, violence in Ukraine continues. Russia has launched a full-scale invasion and tried to capture Kiev for more than three years, and Russia continued to launch nearly night drone and missile attacks on Ukrainian civilians.

On Sunday, the city council posted a residential area in eastern Hosen, Scotland, Russia, on its telegram messaging website, killing a 75-year-old woman and injuring two other women.

Trump said in a social post on truth on Saturday that he would talk to Putin at 10 a.m. Monday with the goal of "stop the 'Bloodbath' killing of more than 5,000 Russian and Ukrainian soldiers a week." NBC News did not independently verify the figures Trump quoted.

Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed to Russian state media on Saturday that the call would take place.

Obviously, Trump is clearly referring to his planned call with Putin and his planned dialogue with Zelensky and other European leaders, adding: "Hopefully this will be a productive day, a ceasefire will happen, this very violent war, a war that will never happen, will never happen, will end."

Despite the hope of ending the war in 24 hours many times, Trump has since found that the reality has been very different since his second term.

Since the early days of the war, Russian and Ukrainian delegations held last week in Istanbul, Turkey.

However, the demands of both sides are still far away: Russia says it will sign a truce only if Ukraine effectively surrenders. Ukraine said the requirements were unacceptable.
