US President Donald Trump said he will speak to Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to push for a ceasefire in Ukraine. Trump called the war a “bloodbath” and said over 5,000 soldiers are dying each week, though official numbers are much lower. The Kremlin confirmed that a call is being planned. Trump also plans to talk to NATO leaders. He hopes the talks will lead to peace. Ukraine recently said it was ready for a ceasefire, but Russia’s demands were too harsh. It is unclear if Trump’s efforts will bring real change to the stalled peace talks. (PC: AP)
