Telephone conversation with President of the United States Donald Trump • President of Russia – PDF

The leaders continued their detailed and frank exchange of views on the situation surrounding Ukraine. Vladimir Putin extended gratitude to Donald Trump for his striving to achieve the noble goal of ending the hostilities and loss of life.

Confirming his fundamental commitment to finding a peaceful resolution to the conflict, the President of Russia expressed willingness to thoroughly work out possible solutions in cooperation with the American partners, aimed at reaching a settlement that would be comprehensive, reliable, and lasting, and, naturally, take into account the essential need to eliminate the root causes of the crisis, as well as Russia’s legitimate security interests.

Concerning US President’s proposal to declare a 30-day ceasefire, the Russian side outlined a number of significant points regarding ensuring effective control over a possible ceasefire along the entire frontline, as well as the need to stop the forced mobilisation in Ukraine and rearming the Armed Forces of Ukraine. It was noted that some serious risks exist pertaining to the intractability of the Kiev regime which had repeatedly sabotaged and violated negotiated agreements. An emphasis was made on barbaric acts of terrorism committed by Ukrainian militants against civilians residing in the Kursk Region.

It was pointed out that a complete cessation of providing Kiev with foreign military aid and intelligence must become the key condition for preventing an escalation of the conflict and making progress towards its resolution through political and diplomatic means.

Referring to Donald Trump’s recent appeal to spare the lives of the Ukrainian servicemen surrounded in the Kursk Region, Vladimir Putin confirmed that the Russian side was willing to embrace humanitarian motives and guaranteed that the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine would live and be treated fairly in accordance with Russian legislation and international law in the event of surrender.

During the conversation, Donald Trump put forward a proposal for the parties to mutually refrain from strikes on energy infrastructure for 30 days. Vladimir Putin responded favourably to the proposal and immediately gave the relevant order to the Russian troops.

Just as favourable was the Russian President’s response to Donald Trump’s suggestion to implement a well-known proposal regarding the safety of navigation in the Black Sea. The leaders agreed to begin talks to further work out specific details of such an agreement.

Vladimir Putin made it known that on March 19, the Russian and Ukrainian sides would carry out an exchange of prisoners, each swapping 175 people. Additionally, as a gesture of goodwill, 23 heavily wounded Ukrainian soldiers currently receiving aid at Russian medical facilities will also be repatriated.

The leaders confirmed their intention to continue efforts aimed at reaching a settlement in Ukraine bilaterally, with due regard in particular to the aforementioned proposals by the US President. For this purpose, a Russian and an American expert task forces are now being formed.

Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump also addressed some other international issues, including the situation in the Middle East and in the Red Sea region. Joint efforts will be made to stabilise the situation in the crisis spots and establish cooperation on nuclear non-proliferation and global security. This will, in turn, contribute to improving the overall ambiance of relations between Russia and the United States. One positive example is the recent vote in the UN on a resolution on the Ukraine conflict, in which the two countries aligned their stances.

The leaders expressed mutual interest in normalising the bilateral ties in light of the special responsibility for ensuring global security and stability borne by both Russia and the United States. Within that context, they addressed a wide range of areas where the two countries could establish cooperation, discussing several ideas aimed at fostering potential ties of mutual interest in economy and energy.

Donald Trump expressed support for Vladimir Putin’s idea to hold ice hockey matches in both the United States and Russia between Russian and American players from the NHL and the KHL.

The presidents agreed to stay in touch on all the issues raised.

Medvedev on that we will see what Kiev chooses…

Moments ago, at a meeting of the permanent members of the Russian Security Council, the Supreme Commander-in-Chief said:

“If the Ukrainian troops in the Kursk region lay down their arms and surrender, we will guarantee them their lives and dignified treatment.”

This is a very humane approach by our country, but for the Ukrainian Nazis, there is also a flip side—should they refuse to lay down arms, they will all be systematically and mercilessly eliminated.

The bloodthirsty Kiev regime still has a chance to save its people. In the coming hours, we will see what they have chosen.

Even attempting to deal with America is futile. Five minutes later, they say the exact opposite, and ten minutes later, they say something completely unrelated to the initial problem and accuse everyone—including the parakeet—of being at fault. Everyone’s time is being wasted. The USA government is made up of a bunch of mentally degraded imbecilic trailer trash. – kKEETON…

Americans either wake up and see what they have become and or they fall deeper and deeper into the rabbit hole!
