**Trump to Talk to Putin After Inauguration**
US President-elect Donald Trump wants to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin soon after his inauguration. Trump has said he wants to talk to Putin “very quickly” after taking office.
The Kremlin, which is Russia’s government headquarters, welcomed Trump’s comments but didn’t say they are preparing for a meeting yet.
**Talks on Ukraine War**
Trump and his team want to discuss a face-to-face meeting with Putin by phone in the coming months. They hope to end the war in Ukraine, which has been going on for years. During the election campaign, Trump promised to stop the war in just 24 hours. However, his team has since revised this goal to 100 days.
**Different Approach?**
The way Trump talks to Putin might be different from how the previous US government handled negotiations with Russia. Trump has often praised Putin and criticized the outgoing US government’s support for Ukraine.
A person close to Trump says he “sees things differently,” which could mean a new approach to dealing with Russia. However, it’s unclear what this will mean for the situation in Ukraine.
**Saving Ukraine**
Trump’s team wants to save Ukraine and protect its sovereignty. They are working on specific peace proposals that they hope will be accepted by both sides.
However, one proposal has already been rejected by Russia. The plan included freezing the front lines, delaying Ukraine’s NATO membership, and deploying European peacekeepers in the region.
