US President Donald Trump did not rule out holding negotiations with Russian President Vladimir Putin within the ten-day deadline to resolve the war in Ukraine, according to an interview with the head of state.

U.S. President Donald Trump said that on several occasions, following what he described as "good conversations" with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, he believed they had reached an agreement on a ceasefire in Ukraine — only for Russia to resume bombarding Ukrainian cities shortly afterward.

Despite President Trump’s demands that Russia halt attacks on Ukraine soon, Putin still believes time is on his side.
