Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Monday that the call will be mainly about settling the conflict in Ukraine but is also “an important step that sets the tone for the movement to revive relations between the states.” Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine began in 2022.

When asked what concessions Russia would make in a potential deal, Trump said discussions have taken place about “dividing up” assets. “We will be talking about land.
