, 7 news, a view

U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin are expected to speak this week, officials said on Sunday (March 16, 2025), as Washington and Kyiv's European allies press Moscow to accept a ceasefire in the three-year war.

The United States this week proposed a halt in fighting in the war after talks in Saudi Arabia, with Kyiv accepting the proposal.

Mr. Putin however has given no clear answer, instead listing a string of conditions and raising "serious questions" over the proposition.
