Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed the plan Monday morning but did not provide further details.
The booked call was a week after the United States and Ukraine met in Saudi Arabia and announced Proposal for 30-day ceasefire. Putin says he Accepted this idea Regarding the ceasefire in principle, he did not promise an agreement and said more discussion was needed.
“The idea itself is correct and we certainly support it,” Putin said at a press conference in Moscow last week. “But we need to discuss some issues, and I think we need to discuss with our American colleagues and partners.”

“We made a lot of progress in that meeting,” Vikov says Sunday on “National Faces the Country with Margaret Brennan.” “We talked about a lot of details, and I pointed out the huge gap between Ukraine and Russia before the inauguration and where we are today.
