U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has expressed his willingness to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss an end to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. In a speech on Sunday, Trump reiterated his campaign promise to bring an end to the war-torn region. 'Putin says he wants to meet with me as soon as possible,' Trump said at a conservative conference in Phoenix, Arizona. 'So we'll be waiting for that. But we must end this war.' Although he did not provide further details or a confirmation of the meeting, Trump's statement suggests a possible breakthrough in U.S.-Russia relations. Meanwhile, the conflict in Ukraine continues to escalate, with both sides trading blame and accusations. The international community is calling for an end to the violence and a peaceful resolution to the crisis. As the situation remains uncertain, the prospect of a Trump-Putin meeting is seen as a potential game-changer. It remains to be seen whether the two leaders can find common ground and bring an end to the devastating conflict in Ukraine.
