US President Donald Trump He says On Tuesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin will talk about ending the Ukrainian war with regional concessions by Kiev and controlling the Zaporizhzia nuclear power plant expected to appear prominently in the talks.

“We want to see whether we can make this war to some extent,” the US President told reporters at the Air Force for the First Air Force during a flight to the Washington DC from Florida on Sunday. “Perhaps we can, maybe we cannot, but I think we have a very good chance.

“I will talk to President Putin on Tuesday. A lot of work was carried out during the weekend.”

In response to a question about what concessions are considered in the ceasefire negotiations, Trump said: “We will talk about the Earth. We will talk about the power plants. … We are already talking about it, and we divide some assets.”

Trump did not give any details, but most likely referred to the nuclear of the nuclear of the nuclear of Russia in Ukraine, the largest nuclear factory in Europe. Russia and Ukraine accused each other of attacks that were at the risk of an accident in the factory.

Al -Jazeera assumptions said that one of the main topics of discussion is already expected to be the Zaporizhzia nuclear plant.

“This is the largest nuclear facility in Europe, which was exposed to Russian early control in March 2022. Since then, it has been closed, but it is still under the control of the Russian forces and the state’s nuclear energy organization in Russia, Rosatom,” she said.

There is also the proposed temporary ceasefire. Russia emphasizes that any such agreement should include security guarantees for its side, which means that it does not want Ukraine to use the opportunity to restore the conflict and restart it. “

French President Emmanuel Macron said on Monday that Trump was committed to the circumstances that Russia should meet for a 30 -day ceasefire.

When writing in a post on X, Macron said it is up to Russia to demonstrate that she really wants peace, and that he spoke again to Ukrainian President Folodimir Zellinski regarding the issue on Monday.

The Kremlin said on Friday that Putin sent Trump a message about his ceasefire plan through US envoy Steve Whittkov, who held talks in Moscow, expressing “cautious optimism” that an agreement can be reached to end the conflict for a period of three years.

In separate appearances on television programs on Sunday in the United States, Wittakov, Foreign Minister Marco Rubio, and the National Security Adviser in Trump, Mike Waltz, stressed that there are still challenges that must be determined before Russia agreed to the ceasefire, a much less war decision.

Zelinski said on Friday that he had seen a good opportunity to end the Russian war after Kiev accepted the American temporary ceasefire.

However, Zelenskyy said that the sovereignty of his country is not negotiable and Russia must surrender the lands it seized. Russia has seized the Crimea in 2014 and is now controlling parts of four -south -eastern regions since its invasion in 2022.

Putin said that his actions in Ukraine aim to protect Russian security from what he is throwing in an aggressive and hostile west, especially the expansion of NATO in the east. Ukraine and its Western partners said that Russia is waging an unbalanced war of aggression and the seizure of lands in the imperial style.

Moscow asked Ukraine to drop NATO ambitions, that Russia controls all the Ukrainian lands that it seized and that the size of the Ukrainian army is limited. It also wants to reduce Western sanctions from the presidential elections in Ukraine, which Kiev said is premature while the martial law is valid.

The head of the European Union’s foreign policy, Kaja Calas, said on Monday that the conditions that Russia requested to agree to the ceasefire showed that Moscow did not really want peace.

British Prime Minister Kiir Starmer said on Saturday that Western allies, unlike the United States, were intensifying preparations to support Ukraine in the event of a ceasefire with Russia, with the defense presidents ready for three “strong plans” next week.

Both Britain and France said they are ready to send the peacekeeping force to monitor any ceasefire in Ukraine.

The new Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney – who met his French counterpart, President Emmanuel Macron, also pledged on Monday in Paris – to support the sovereignty of Ukraine.

The local authorities said on Monday that the Ukrainian forces launched a drone on southern Russia overnight, which caused a fire in an oil refinery.

Astrakhan governor Igor Babushkin said that “fuel and energy” employees were evacuated before the attack, which caused a major fire.

One person was injured during the attack. “The victim has now been transferred to the hospital,” Babushkin wrote on social media.

The last bombing comes at a time when Ukraine criticized Russia for refusing to accept a ceasefire from the United States without any conditions.

The Air Force said that Moscow also fired 174 drones at Ukraine, as the 90 air defense units, including Iranian designer drones.

Governor Oleg Kipper said about 500 people in the southern Ukrainian region of Odessa lost power due to attacks and one person was wounded.
