Donald Trump has revealed that he has held discussions with Vladimir Putin and is optimistic about the U.S. making headway in negotiations to resolve the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. He shared that his special envoy for Ukraine and Russia, Keith Kellogg, is scheduled to visit Ukraine soon, and he intends to have a conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky this week. Trump also proposed the idea that Ukraine could potentially become part of Russia and suggested a resource-sharing arrangement with the U.S. in return for assistance. In another development, Keith Kellogg has outlined his plans to address peace efforts in Ukraine with allies at the Munich Security Conference taking place from February 14 to 16.
