US President Donald Trump told reporters on Sunday during a late flight back to Washington from Florida that he will speak to Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday after talks between U.S. and Russian officials in Moscow last week. Trump said he is trying to win Putin's support for a 30-day ceasefire proposal that Ukraine accepted last week, as Ukraine and Russia continued trading heavy aerial strikes over the weekend.

Trump projected a positive outcome on the ceasefire deal.

" Maybe we can, maybe we can't. But I think we have a very good chance."

For concessions that are being considered in ceasefire negotiations, Trump mentioned about possibly dividing up land and power plants which have been already discussed by the both Ukraine and Russia.

" We'll be talking about land. It's a lot of land. It's a lot different than it was before the war We'll be talking about power plants I think we have a lot of it already discussed very much by both sides, Ukraine and Russia. We're already talking about that -dividing up certain assets."

The U.S. has been pushing for a ceasefire in Ukraine, but Russia has not given a firm position, instead insisting on various conditions by outlining numerous details that need to be negotiated before any deal can be completed.
