In a significant diplomatic move, President Donald Trump is scheduled to converse with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday. This call marks the first interaction between the two leaders since Ukraine recently consented to a U.S.-supported truce, contingent upon reciprocal action from Russia. Trump has emphasized urgency in establishing peace, while Putin appears to demand further concessions. As negotiations evolve, major points of discussion will include Ukraine's assets and the war's current state.

Trump has indicated that the centerpiece of the conversation will revolve around power plants and the division of Ukrainian assets.
