Trump Aides Oppose Putin Call Without Ukraine Ceasefire, Kremlin Awaits Clarity on U.S. Stance

President Trump’s advisers are pushing back against a new call with Vladimir Putin unless Russia agrees to a full Ukraine ceasefire. Trump insists a truce is close, citing readiness from both sides to negotiate. However, Putin seeks U.S. monitoring guarantees and Ukrainian de-escalation. Meanwhile, Moscow warns of misinformation surrounding contact plans. Diplomatic progress appears slow but ongoing, especially after a Kremlin adviser’s recent visit to Washington. A third Trump-Putin call is anticipated, but internal U.S. dissent could delay engagement.
